3.4 Installation

B&R preinstalls the required Windows 7 version on the desired storage device (e.g. CFast card, etc.). All of the
drivers required for operation (graphics, network, etc.) are also installed in this process.

3.5 Drivers

Current drivers for all approved operating systems are available in the Downloads section of the B&R website
(www.br-automation.com).
Information:
Required drivers can only be downloaded from the B&R website, not from manufacturer websites.

3.6 Special considerations, limitations

• Windows 7 does not contain a Beep.sys file, which means that an audible signal is not sounded when
pressing a key, for example.
• There is currently no support for the Windows 7 system rating (although this does not apply to PP500,
APC2100, APC510, APC511, APC910, PPC2100 or PPC800 devices with an NM10 chipset).
Information:
32-bit operating systems are not recommended for system units with 4 GB or more of main memory.
More information can be found in the section "Miscellaneous configuration" on page 124 under "PCI
MMIO size".

3.7 Supported display resolutions

In accordance with Microsoft requirements, Windows 7 requires XGA resolution (1024 x 768) or higher in order to
allow unimpeded operation of the Windows user interface (including system dialog boxes, etc.). A lower resolution
can be selected for applications.
