SINUMERIK 840D Installation and Start-Up Guide (IAD) – 04.00 Edition
1. A backup/restore at file level is performed on the MMC in the Services area,
e.g. by selective backup of start-up or machine data, etc. (via diskette, V.24,
PC card).
2. Individual software components are installed/re-installed either via diskette
or parallel interface (Interlnk/ InterSrv).
Problems associated with the BIOS update must be considered.
3. With MMC102/3 running BIOS Version 2.12 the error “Expection error (13)”
can occur after a successful restore”.
Remedy: Switch the MMC102/103 off and on again.
4. For a backup/restore via parallel port or network the power saving feature of
the PC/PG must be deactivated.
5. After completing the backup/restore with Ghost, the parallel cable should be
removed again, in order to prevent unexpected MMC operating states.
6. If the external PC is equipped with an AMD K6 processor, problems can
arise with the parallel connection at processor clock speeds > 233 MHz. In
this case, operate both computers (MMC and PC) with LPT BIOS setting
“ECP”.
7. CD–ROM drive access problems can occur occasionally with certain pro-
gramming devices. This can lead to a shut-down of the Ghost connection
during the direct restore of an image file from CD–ROM.
Remedy: Copy the image file from the CD onto the hard disk of the program-
ming device.
