The MMC 103 with BIOS Version 2.12 should be operated with the
parallel port setting "378H IRQ7 Bidirectional" (BIOS setup).
Sufficient storage capacity must be available on the PC/PG hard disk for the
backup image file.
Rule of thumb: approx. 70% of the used MMC hard disk capacity.
When the programming device is supplied, the parallel port is set
in the bios to "output only". Please change to EPP.
Plug the parallel cable into the lower connector (LPT1) on the left side
of the PG 740. This can be confused with the COM/V.24/PLC
port.
If the backup/restore is to be performed from a boot diskette,
the boot sequence of the MMC 102/103 must be changed in the BIOS from C,A
to A,C.
On PG/PC

PC/PG with bidirectional interface, EPP setting
for PG 740 internal LPT1: <address>

Siemens LapLink parallel cable (order no. 6FX2002–1AA02–1AD0)
or standard LapLink cable.
S
Diskette drive if backup/restore with Ghost is to be performed by an
MMC102/103 with a software version lower than V4.4.
S
For MMC102/103, set parallel interface to EPP (BIOS),
this increases the transmission rate of the parallel interface
by approx. 10%.
Directly connected to the MMC102/103
parallel interface, e.g. ZIP, JAZ, CDROM
or network path: The user must enter the necessary device driver in "autoex-
ec.bat" and/or "config.sys" on the boot diskette.
Important
1. Drivers for the above I/O devices are not supported by Siemens.
2. When entering paths or file names in connection with the NortonGhost soft-
ware, please comply with the DOS 8 character convention (length of file
