Automatic Switching On Of The Device; Windows Action Center - Siemens SIMATIC IPC627D Operating Instructions Manual

4.3

Automatic switching on of the device

In the BIOS setup, you can specify the behavior of the device when it is disconnected from
the mains voltage. The following property is set as default:
● BIOS setup, "Advanced" menu, "Chipset Configuration" submenu, setup parameter "After
G3 On" to "Last State".
● After a power loss during operation, the device will automatically restart when the power
returns.
● If the device was not in operation, it remains switched off when the power returns.
The mains voltage must have failed for at least 20 s for the power failure to be detected and
for this defined action to be executed.
NOTICE
Unintentional reactions at power loss restart
Automatic startup, for example, after a power failure, can result in unintentional reactions of
the machine or plant. This endangers the operation.
Take the BIOS setup entry "After G3 On" into consideration in the plant planning.

Windows Action Center

Warning from the Windows Security Center
A warning from the Windows Security Center is displayed the first time you switch on your
device. The Security Center checks the status of the device with regard to the three
important safety aspects listed below. If a problem is detected (an outdated antivirus
program, for example), the Security Center issues a warning and makes recommendations
on how you can better protect the device.
● Firewall: The Windows Firewall adds protection to the device by blocking network or
Internet access to the device by unauthorized users. Windows checks if the device is
protected by a software firewall.
The firewall is enabled by default in the delivery state.
● Antivirus software: Antivirus programs add protection to the device by searching for and
eliminating viruses and other security threats. Windows checks if a full-range, up-to-date
antivirus program is running on the device. No antivirus software is installed in the
delivery state.
● Automatic updates: Using the Automatic Update feature allows Windows to regularly
search for the latest critical updates for the device and to install them automatically. This
feature is disabled in the delivery state.
● Real-time protection (only with Windows 7): Windows Defender displays warnings if
spyware or possibly unwanted software is installed or executed on the computer. You will
also receive a warning if programs attempt to modify important Windows settings. This
feature is disabled in the delivery state.
Configure the Security Center according to your requirements.
