4.4 Switching the Panel PC on and off
First switching on and driver installation
NOTE
Public networks
Connecting the PC to public networks without additional protective measures can compromise the safety of
the device.
• Protect the PC before connecting it to public networks.
The Panel PC starts up when the system is switched on or when the power supply is connected.
When you switch on the Panel PC for the first time, the optional pre-installed operating system starts. For
any additional hardware you have connected, you have to install the drivers yourself afterwards.
If you have ordered the PC without an operating system, you must install this and the driver software for the
additional hardware you have connected and for the devices in the PC yourself. Please follow the
instructions in the documentation for the operating system and the additional devices.
Switching off the Panel PC
NOTE
Data loss due to running software
Switching off the Panel PC before the running software is terminated and the operating system is shut
down can lead to data loss.
• Quit the running software and shut down the operating system before switching off the PC.
When the system is switched off or disconnected from its own power supply, the Panel PC is also switched
off.
You can assign different access rights to all users in the operating system and in the application software.
Since there is a risk of data loss if the Panel PC is switched off incorrectly, assign the rights advisedly. A user
who is not allowed to terminate the software should not be allowed to switch off the Panel PC.
