SIMATIC Panel PC 670/870 Start-Up Instructions

2.6.5 Operating system not installed

Information on installing the operating systems is available for:

Windows NT

Windows 98 (Panel PC 670 only)

Windows ME (Panel PC 870 only)

Windows 2000

in Internet under http://www.siemens.com/simatichmi.

Note

The Panel PC 670/870 is optionally available without an operating system.
During the installation of a third party operating system, the user must integrate
all software components (e. g. drivers) required for the operating system by
himself.

The Panel PC 670/870 offers specific application functions (e.g. touchscreen,
function keys on the front side) beyond the functional scope of a standard PC.
When a third party operating system is installed by the user, the usability of
these application functions cannot be guaranteed, in contrast to a
Panel PC 670/870 with operating system supplied by Siemens.

When a third party operating system is integrated in the Panel PC 670/870,
support can only be provided by Siemens AG to a minimum extent for the
reasons explained.

Note

Operating systems which do not support USB (e.g. DOS) cannot be used with
the Panel PC 670/870.
