Finalizing your SIMATIC Embedded PC for operation
To finalize your Microbox 427B-RTX/ -HMI/RTX or Panel PC 477B-HMI/RTX for operation,
the following steps are recommended:
●
Set the Enhanced Write Filter to the "Enabled" state for the C:\ drive. See the topic
"Managing the Enhanced Write Filter" for details.
●
Document any special settings (for example, changes to the IP address) for the
Embedded Bundle, which you made through your application development. Store them
together with your STEP 7 or WinCC flexible project.

Leaving the Enhanced Write Filter in the default "Disabled" state may lead to an early
failure of the CompactFlash card, due to ongoing write access of the operating system.
See the topic "Managing the Enhanced Write Filter" for details.
