5.1.3 Watchdog (WD) with LED

Function
The watchdog is able to monitor program runtime and informs the user about the different
reactions that are triggered if the user program does not respond to the watchdog within the
specified monitoring time.
The watchdog is in idle state during power on of the device, or after a HW-RESET (cold
restart). A WD reaction is not triggered while it is in idle state. However, an active watchdog
interrupt remains after a restart and its active state is still indicated by the LED.

Watchdog reactions
The following reactions may be triggered if the watchdog is not retriggered within the set
time:
Reaction Option
Switch watchdog LED to red None
Trigger a PC reset Configurable
Output of DiagBase alarm messages None

Note

5.2 Active Management Technology (AMT)

AMT (Active Management Technology) is technology for the remote maintenance of
computers (simply called AMT-PC in the remainder of the document) and it includes the
following functions:
● Keyboard Video Mouse( KVM) Redirection: Using KVM that is integrated in the AMT
hardware you access the AMT PC remotely. With KVM, you can also control AMT PCs
that have no operating system or a defective operating system. A KVM remote session is
always possible with the KVM server integrated in the firmware. This means you can
restart the PC and change the BIOS setup remotely.
● Remote power management: AMT PCs can be turned on and off and restarted from
another PC.
● SOL (Serial over LAN): Redirection of the data of a serial interface to the network. The
main use of the function is text-based remote control of an AMT PC using a console.
● IDE redirection: An ISO file on the help desk PC can be mounted on the AMT PC and
used as a DVD drive.
An ISO file contains a memory image of the content of a CD or DVD structured in the ISO
9660 format.
● Remote reboot: An AMT PC can be booted from a bootable ISO file made available by
another PC.

SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager

The "SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager" software is available for utilization of the AMT
functions with SIMATIC IPCs. The software can be ordered from the Siemens online
ordering system. For detailed information about "SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager", refer to
the corresponding product documentation.
Typical areas of application and functions of the SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager:
● Remote maintenance of SIMATIC IPC with AMT, for example for service purposes in the
case of a defective operating system or for adapting BIOS settings.
● Diagnostics without on-site use
● Convenient service: Access to AMT clients, such as headless systems, without additional
hardware
● Resource management

Requirement
● A device with a Core i5 or Xeon processor
● A functioning and configured management engine
● A functioning and configured Ethernet connection

7.3.3 RAID software

The RAID software "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" offers enhanced functionality for
operating and managing the RAID1 system.
1. Select the RAID software via "Start > Programs > Intel Rapid Storage Technology".

2. Select "Manage" > "Advanced" to display details about the RAID1 system.
3. Select the "Help > "System Report" > "Save" command to create a report with details
about the RAID1 system.

7.3.4 Checking the status of the RAID system

By default, the status of the RAID system is displayed in the Windows Event Viewer and in a
log file of the program. If an error occurs, a hard disk can be synchronized at the operating
system level.

Note
It may take a very long time (hours or even days in the case of a high drive load) to
synchronize a new hard disk in the background, depending on its size and on the system
load.
The redundant system state is reached again only after synchronization is completed.

NOTICE
Operator errors on the machine or plant
Data is synchronized if a hard disk fails. Depending on the work load of the processor and
hard disks, the system may react with some delay. Execution of keyboard, mouse or touch
screen commands may be briefly delayed in extreme situations. This could result in
operator errors on the machine or plant.
Do not operate safety-critical functions when a hard disk has failed.

8.2.2 ESD guideline

What does ESD mean?

An electronic module is equipped with highly integrated components. Due to their design,
electronic components are highly sensitive to overvoltage and thus to the discharge of static
electricity. Such electronic components or modules are labeled as electrostatic sensitive
devices.
The following abbreviations are commonly used for electrostatic sensitive devices:
● ESD – Electrostatic sensitive device
● ESD – Electrostatic Sensitive Device as a common international designation
Electrostatic sensitive devices can be labeled with an appropriate symbol.

NOTICE
Damage to ESD from touch
Electrostatic sensitive devices, ESD, can be destroyed by voltages which are far below the
human perception limit. If you touch a component or electrical connections of a module
without discharging any electrostatic energy, these voltages may arise.
The damage to a module by an overvoltage can often not be immediately detected and only
becomes evident after an extended period of operation. The consequences are incalculable
and range from unforeseeable malfunctions to a total failure of the machine or system.
Avoid touching components directly. Make sure that persons, the workstation and the
packaging are properly grounded.

Charge
Every person without a conductive connection to the electrical potential of his/her
surroundings can be electrostatically charged.
The material with which this person comes into contact is of particular significance. The
figure shows the maximum electrostatic voltages with which a person is charged, depending
on humidity and material. These values conform to the specifications of IEC 61000-4-2.

① Synthetic materials
② Wool
③ Antistatic materials such as wood or concrete

NOTICE
Grounding measures
There is no equipotential bonding without grounding. An electrostatic charge is not
discharged and may damage the ESD.
Protect yourself against discharge of static electricity. When working with electrostatic
sensitive devices, make sure that the person and the workplace are properly grounded.

Protective measures against discharge of static electricity

● Disconnect the power supply before you install or remove modules which are sensitive to
ESD.
● Pay attention to good grounding:
– When handling electrostatical sensitive devices, make sure that persons, the
workstation and devices, tools and packaging used are properly grounded. This way
you avoid static discharge.
● Avoid direct contact:
– As a general rule, do not touch electrostatic sensitive devices, except in the case of
unavoidable maintenance work.
– Hold the modules at their edge so that you do not touch the connector pins or
conductor paths. This way, the discharge energy does not reach and damage the
sensitive components.
– Discharge your body electrostatically before you take a measurement at a module. Do
so by touching grounded metallic parts. Always use grounded measuring instruments.

NOTICE
Note for bus modules with PCIe switch
As long as no modules are plugged into the PCIe slots behind a PCIe switch, the IRQs are
not used by the PCIe switch, but the display only shows that these IRQs would be used if
modules were plugged in.
The PCIe switch is displayed in Windows Device Management as "PCI standard PCI-to-

8.5.2.3 Interrupt assignment of the slot connectors on the bus board

Y Interrupt in APIC mode

Z BIOS Default Interrupt PIC mode, e.g. DOS
1 Host PCI-IRQ A to H is assigned to IRQ 16 to 23 permanently in APIC mode. Host PCI-IRQ A to
H is assigned to IRQ 0 to 15 automatically in PIC mode by the BIOS. A specific assignment
cannot be forced.

SIMATIC IPC847D
Operating Instructions, 01/2014, A5E32997454-AA 161
Technical specifications
8.5 Hardware description

Note
As long as no modules are plugged into slots 1, 2, 3, IRQs 17, 18, 19 are not used by the
PCIe switch, the display only shows that these IRQs would be used if modules were plugged
in.
The PCIe switch is displayed in Windows Device Management as "PCI standard PCI-to-PCI
bridge".

8.5.2.4 Exclusive PCI hardware interrupt

Applications demanding high-performance interrupt handling require high-speed hardware

interrupt reaction. The PCI hardware interrupt should only be used by one resource in order
to ensure high-speed reaction of the hardware.

Setting up an exclusive interrupt on the device (only APIC mode)

An exclusive interrupt can only be set and used for PCI slot 5 or 8 and 6 or 9. Further
exclusive interrupts for use at the slots are not available. PCI slots 5 and 6 are only available
with the bus module option with 5 PCI slots.

Assigning exclusive interrupts in BIOS Setup (PIC mode only)

The interrupts are automatically assigned to the slots at system startup due to the default
settings in system BIOS.
Several slots may share the same interrupt, depending on the system configuration. This
functionality is known as interrupt sharing. Exclusive interrupts are not available in PIC
mode. Disable specific system resources in order to obtain exclusive interrupts. The free
interrupt is then assigned to the slots. The lower free IRQ is assigned to the lower slot
number.
If a conflict arises due to the assignment, it is signaled accordingly. The alarm must be
acknowledged:
Resources Conflict. Please re-select [ok]
The interface that causes the conflict is automatically "disabled". For more information,
please refer to the chapter "Assignment of interrupts".

Example
If you want to use "IRQ 3" for a slot, you must disable "Internal COM 2" via Advanced >
Peripheral Configuration. IRQ 3 is then automatically assigned to the slot with the lowest slot
number.

IRQ assignment for Windows (APIC mode)

Ethernet 1 16 1, 2
Ethernet 2 17 1
Profibus/MPI 19 1
PCI slot 1 20 1
PCI slot 2 21 1
PCI Express slot 16 1, 3
1) Requirement: The modules in the PCI slots each require only one interrupt
2) Requirement: VGA and PCIexpress do not require an interrupt
3) Requirement: VGA does not require an interrupt and Ethernet1 is disabled

8.5.3 System resources

8.5.3.1 Currently allocated system resources

All system resources (hardware addresses, memory configuration, allocation of interrupts,
DMA channels) are assigned dynamically by the Windows OS, depending on the hardware
configuration, drivers and connected external devices. You can view the current
configuration of system resources or possible conflicts with the following operating systems:

8.5 Hardware description

PCI / PCIe cards and the on-board PCI / PCIe devices require PCI interrupt channels. These
interrupt channels can be shared and are plug-and-play compatible, that is, several devices
can share the same interrupt. The IRQ is assigned automatically.
PCI interrupt channels must be derived from the PIC interrupt pool, that is PCI modules also
use PIC resources. These IRQ channels are assigned automatically.
The Host PCI IRQ channels A to H are permanently assigned in APIC mode. These default
settings cannot be modified.
The Host PCI IRQ channels A to H in PIC mode are assigned automatically in BIOS. The
assignment can be changed by disabling functions. Resulting free IRQs are assigned to the
slots.

Memory address assignments

PCI VGA modules can be operated with expansion ROM up to 48K.

8.6.1 Overview

BIOS Setup program

The BIOS setup program, or BIOS Setup for short, is located, together with the setup
parameters, in a FLASH block on the motherboard.
You change the setup parameters of the device in the BIOS Setup. Examples: System time,
hard disks or boot sequence.

Changing the device configuration

Your device configuration is preset for operating with the included software. You should only
change the default setup parameters if you have made technical changes to your device, or
if a fault occurs when the unit is switched on.

NOTICE
Malfunctions can occur with running software CPU
If a BIOS update of the PC is performed while a software CPU is running, the result may be
malfunctions of the software CPU, for example, communication interruptions or failures.
Other actions that put a heavy load on the PC hardware, for example, running hardware
tests such as benchmarks, can result in malfunctions of the software CPU.
Do not run a BIOS update or other actions that would put a heavy load on the hardware
during operation of a software CPU.
Switch the software CPU to "STOP" before you run a BIOS update or perform other critical
actions.

8.7 Active Management Technology (AMT)

8.7 Active Management Technology (AMT)

8.7.1 AMT basics

The processors Intel Core i5 and Xeon support Intel® vProTM and Intel Active Management
Technology at the hardware end. An administrator at the Help Desk PC accesses the AMT
PCs. Only the AMT PCs must have an integrated Intel AMT.
The following figure shows the possible structure of a network for remote management on
the basis of SIMATIC AMT-PCs.

From a SIMATIC IPC which does not have Intel AMT functions, you can access networked
SIMATIC IPCs with Intel AMT using the SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager and/or a web
browser.
SIMATIC IPCs that support AMT feature two onboard Ethernet interfaces, each with a
separate controller. The controller integrated in the chipset of the type: "xxxxxxLM" can be
configured for the use of Intel AMT. Further details about the controller can be found in the
technical specification.
For security reasons, AMT is disabled when you receive a SIMATIC IPC. Enable AMT in the
BIOS setup. Afterwards the Intel® Management Engine (Intel® ME) has to be activated and
set for AMT. You make additional settings in the Management Engine:
● Configuring the network for access via AMT
● Creating a password

8.7 Active Management Technology (AMT)

8.7.2 Overview of AMT

This section describes the required measures and settings on the local IPC so that the IPC
can be controlled and maintained remotely from a management station known below as the
help desk PC.
The local IPC is known below as the "AMT PC".
The sections contain the following information:
● AMT settings in the MEBx and in the BIOS setup
● Basic configuration of AMT
● Further useful notes

8.7.3 Enabling AMT, basic configuration

For security reasons, AMT is not enabled on new devices.

Procedure
1. Connect the AMT PC with the LAN.
2. If necessary, first reset AMT to the default status (see section "Unconfigure").
3. Restart the device.
Press <ESC> when the following BIOS message appears:
Press Esc for Boot Options
4. In the Advanced menu, enable "Intel AMT Support", and "Intel AMT Setup Prompt".
5. Exit the BIOS with the <F10> key "Save and Exit". The AMT PC restarts.
6. To access the MEBx, press the <Ctrl+P> keyboard shortcut
7. In the login dialog, enter the standard password "admin".
8. Change the default password. The new password must include the following characters:
– In total at least eight characters
– One upper case letter
– One lower case letter
– One number
– One of the special characters ! @ # $ % ^ & * @ # $ % ^ & *

Note
The underscore _ and the space characters are valid password characters, however
they do not increase password complexity.

9. Enable "Intel (R) AMT Configuration > Manageability Feature Selection".

10.Enable "Intel (R) ME General Settings > Activate Network Access".

 Technical specifications
8.7 Active Management Technology (AMT)

8.7.4 Advanced settings

The BIOS and the MEBx contain the most important basic settings for AMT. Additional tools
are necessary if you want to make more advanced settings. If required, these must be
downloaded from the relevant manufacturer's site. For information on the options and use of
these tools, refer to the relevant documentation of the manufacturer.
● Manageability Commander and other tools of the Intel DTK (Manageability Developer
Tool Kit): Programs from the Intel DTK that you can download from the Internet at
"http://software.intel.com/en-us/manageability".
● AMT Web interface: For encrypted connections, the URL of the Web interface is "https://
<Fully qualified domain name>:16993" and for unencrypted connections "http://<IP
address>:16992".
● WinRM: A command line program that is part of Windows as of Windows Vista. This tool
can be downloaded for older Windows versions.

8.7.5 Resetting with Unconfigure

Note
If the AMT PC still has its factory settings, for example has just been purchased, you can
skip this section.

If you have already configured AMT previously, it is best to discard all the previous AMT
settings made in the MEBx.

Note
All previous settings in the management engine are deleted.
Correct operation in the plant may be at risk.
Note down all the settings in the MEBx. Make the settings again as necessary following
Unconfigure.

1. Enable the "Unconfigure ME" entry in "Advanced > Active Management Technology
Support" in the BIOS.
2. Exit the BIOS with the <F10> key "Save and Exit". The AMT PC restarts.
3. After the restart, a user prompt appears asking whether you really want to discard all the
settings in the management engine:

4. Confirm with "Y". On a German keyboard, this means pressing the <Z> key.
The device continues to boot with the factory settings of the management engine.

8.7 Active Management Technology (AMT)

8.7.6 Determining the network address

To connect the AMT PC with the AMT server, the network address that uniquely localizes
the AMT server on the AMT PC must be entered.
If DHCP is set for the automatic assignment of the network address in "Network Setup" in
the MEBx of the AMT PC, the network address is not fixed.

Procedure
If the AMT server uses the same network address as the operating system of the AMT PC
(most common situation):
1. You can obtain the address of the AMT server in the command line in Windows using
"ipconfig" and in UNIX using "ifconfig".
If the AMT server and operating system do not use the same network address, ask your
network administrator for the address you have been assigned.

8.7.7 Forcing user consent

When establishing a connection to the AMT PC, the KVM viewer may prompt the user to
enter a six-figure code. This code is displayed on the screen of the AMT PC. The user of the
AMT PC must inform the user of the KVM viewer of this code.
This code query needs to be set up on the KVM viewer.

Procedure
1. Select "Intel(R) AMT Configuration > User Consent" in the MEBx.
2. Select the value "KVM" for "User Consent".
To allow a user with administrator privileges to avoid this code query, follow these steps:
1. Select "Intel(R) AMT Configuration > User Consent" in the MEBx.
2. Enable "Opt-in configurable from remote IT".
