Purpose
Select the disk image from which the SSD is to be restored.
You can use local disk images or disk images stored in the net‐
work.
Open the "Connect a Share" dialog box (Page 258).
You can manage a shared resource (e.g. a directory in the net‐
work), to use a disk image stored on the network to restore the
SSD.
Open the "Select Source File" dialog box.
You can navigate through a local directory of the PC system and
select a disk image for restoration.
Select the partition scheme to be used when restoring the disk
image on a PCU 50.x:
● If the PCU-Basesoftware Windows 7 is on the disk image,
choose "PCU Base Windows 7 partition scheme".
● If the PCU-Basesoftware Windows XP is on the disk image,
choose "PCU Base Windows XP partition scheme".
It is not possible to use a different operating system on a Sie‐
mens PC system other than the pre-installed system (e.g. Win‐
dows XP running on a Windows 10 IPC).
If you are using a different PC system than the PCU 50.5, you
must deactivate the "Adjust partitions" setting.
No MCU setting, only Windows XP:
After restoring the image, changes the computer name and the
computer SID. This option is only available if the Windows XP
partition schematic was selected.
