2Hdd System (Optional) - Siemens SIMATIC HMI IPC677C Operating Instructions Manual

7.9.2

2HDD system (optional)

The factory configuration of the two hard disks is as follows:
Hard disk 0
Partition C: System, NTFS, 25 GB
Partition D: Data, NTFS, remaining capacity
The two hard disks are connected to the SATA ports 0 and 2. The hard disk on SATA port 2
is not configured. This gives you the option of backing up your data to this hard disk. For
information on hard disk capacities, refer to your order documentation.
Booting from the slave hard disk
The system boots by default from the hard disk on SATA port 0. You can also configure the
system to boot from the disk on SATA port 2.
In order to allow booting from the second hard disk, you need to configure it as the primary
boot device. Make the following settings in your BIOS Setup:
Select Boot > Legacy > Hard Disk Drive > <Hard disk name> e.g. P0- ST3500418AS, then
press the "+" key to move it up in the boot order.
Note
The drive letters for the partitions on both drives are assigned by the operating system used.
You can change these in the Control Panel as required.
