System Administration introduction
This section provides information on system maintenance tasks for the 4200A-SCS computer.
Most of the procedures discussed in this section should be done by a knowledgeable Microsoft
®
Windows
®
system administrator.
Embedded computer policy
If you install software that is not part of the standard application software for the 4200A-SCS, the
non-standard software may be removed if the instrument is sent in for service. Back up the
applications and any data related to them before sending the instrument in for service.
Do not reinstall or upgrade the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
operating system (OS) on any 4200A-SCS. This
action should only be performed at an authorized Keithley Instruments service facility. Violation of
this precaution will void the 4200A-SCS warranty and may render the 4200A-SCS unusable. Any
attempt to reinstall or upgrade the operating system (other than a Windows service pack update) will
require a return-to-factory repair and will be treated as an out-of-warranty service, including time and
material charges.
Although you must not attempt to reinstall or upgrade the operating system, you can restore the hard
drive image (complete with the operating system) using the Acronis True Image OEM software tool,
described in
System-level backup and restore software
(on page 11-4).
