•

Protect software integrity
The 4200A-SCS has been designed and tested for maximum system stability, reliability, and
performance in the factory-standard configuration. To protect the system software, observe the
following tips:
•
Do not defragment the solid state drive (SSD) that is pre-installed on the 4200A-SCS.
Defragmenting a SSD quickly reduces the life of the drive.
•
Refer to the
(on page 1-4) for information about upgrading Microsoft
®
Windows
®
software and installing third party software.
•
Protect the system from viruses, which can reach the system through a facility network or a
contaminated USB flash drive. The 4200A-SCS does not contain pre-installed protection against
viruses, spyware, or malware. You are responsible for installing software protection packages.
•
Do not attempt to format the system hard drive or reinstall the operating system. Attempting to do
so will make the system inoperative and require factory repair.
Do not reinstall or upgrade the Microsoft Windows operating system (OS) on any 4200A-SCS. This
action should only be done at an authorized Keithley service facility. Violation of this precaution will
void the 4200A-SCS. Any attempt to reinstall or upgrade the Microsoft Windows operating system
will require a return-to-factory repair and will be treated as an out-of-warranty service, including time
and material charges.
