stations.
Bundle PCs
The product bundle PCs of PCS 7 are supplied with a multilingual operating system.
The default language is English; the multilingual packages which include German, French,
Italian and Spanish are installed.
If you install a PC yourself, we recommend the following when selecting the operating system
language:
● If the PC users only use one language, select the operating system language used for
configuration/process control.
● If the users use multiple languages on the PC, select a multilingual operating system
(English/USA by default) and then install the additional Multilingual User Interface Packs.
5.3.2 Partitioning hard disks
Partitioning the hard disks
If you are not using a preconfigured PC from a PCS 7 product bundle, but instead a different
type, divide the PC's hard disk into the following partitions to facilitate easy data backup.
● For the operating system and the PCS 7 installation: Minimum 100 GB, see example
● For PCS 7 project data: At least 100 GB, possibly several partitions
● For backups: Back up the projects and archives to media that will not be affected by a failure
of the PC or the hard disk with the original data, for example, a DVD or on the network.
If you use a preconfigured PC from a product bundle, the configuration-specific partitions are
set up.
