Configuring
Your PC is now ready, although you still have to configure the SIMATIC NET communication
software. The rest of the procedure is described in the "Commissioning PC Stations" manual
(on the Windows PC that also contains STEP 7/NCM PC: Start > Simatic > Documentation >
English > Commissioning PC Stations).
Overview
BIOS Setup program
The BIOS setup program, or BIOS Setup for short, is located, together with the setup
parameters, in a FLASH block on the motherboard.
You change the setup parameters of the device in the BIOS Setup. Examples: System time,
hard disks or boot sequence.
Changing the device configuration
Your device configuration is preset for operating with the included software. You should only
change the default setup parameters if you have made technical changes to your device, or
if a fault occurs when the unit is switched on.
Malfunctions can occur with running software CPU
If a BIOS update of the PC is performed while a software CPU is running, the result may be
malfunctions of the software CPU, for example, communication interruptions or failures.
Other actions that put a heavy load on the PC hardware, for example, running hardware
tests such as benchmarks, can result in malfunctions of the software CPU.
Do not run a BIOS update or other actions that would put a heavy load on the hardware
during operation of a software CPU.
Switch the software CPU to "STOP" before you run a BIOS update or perform other critical
actions.
