Active Management Technology (Amt); Amt Basics - Siemens SIMATIC Series Operating Instructions Manual

For a detailed description of how to call up and operate the BIOS setup and which menus
and setting options are available, refer to the BIOS reference manual on the "Documentation
and Drivers" DVD that ships with the manual.
Note
After a BIOS update, you need to execute the "Restore Defaults" command. Executing the
"Restore Defaults" command restores all BIOS settings to their original state.
Power failure recovery
The following two settings are possible in the "Power Failure Recovery" BIOS setup entry:
● The device switches on automatically.
The device switches on automatically when the device was separated from the mains
supply for at least 20 s. This setting is of importance even if the device is always switched
off with a hardware reset. The device always starts automatically when the power supply
is re-connected at a later time.
● The on/off/ button must be operated.
The device does not switch on automatically.
Note
Automatic startup may endanger the operation of the machine or plant, for example, after a
power failure. Take this into account when designing the plant.
