Installing operating system, software and drivers
You can restore the factory settings of the target system (i.e. the volume partitions, the

Provision of operating system, software and drivers
Possible sources of the Restore or Documentation and Drivers set:
• USB flash drive supplied (optional, if ordered)

Drivers Set for the device from the Online Software Delivery Portal. To do this, log in to
Online Software Delivery Portal (https://www.automation.siemens.com/swdl/register/ipc),
download the required data set and use it to create a bootable USB flash drive.
For more information, see the Product Information for creating a bootable USB flash drive,
see"Important instructions and manuals for operating the device (Page 9)".
