11.8.1 Hard disk back-up/restore
S Simple Back-up/Restore of the hard disks of the PCU 50/50.3/70 locally.
System software, add-on software and user-specific records are all backed
up.
S HD image (HD image saved as file) can be saved on a data carrier (e.g. CD)
for long-term purposes.
S Loading of master images (images for series start-up) remains with the ma-
chine manufacturer.
S Upgrading or downgrading can be executed by the machine manufacturer
(master image) irrespective of what is supplied by Siemens.
S The Norton Ghost
R
back-up program is installed on every PCU.
Using the “Norton Ghost
R
” software, the entire content of a PCU hard disk is
stored as a disk image. This disk image can be stored on various data carriers
for a later restoration of the hard disk. Norton Ghost
R
is supplied from the
factory on every PCU 50/50.3/70 module.
For further information please see Internet under web site “www.ghost.com”.
The next section describes how to back up an entire PCU hard disk so that both
user and system data remains available and consistent if servicing is required:
S Back up hard disk
S Back up user data
S Copy data to hard disk

To enter and make changes in BIOS, you require a keyboard with a PS/2 con-
nector (a PG keyboard also works).
From Bios 3.04, press the “DEL” key when powering up the HMI. Loading the
“BIOS Setup Defaults” allows BIOS settings to be reversed.
With the PCU, in the event of a hard disk restore, the “Virus Warning: Disabled”
setting must be made in the BIOS. This change is not needed for the back-up.
The PC/PG hard disk must have around 70% of the PCU hard disk space as
free memory for the back-up image file.
