Maintenance
To maintain high system availability, we recommend the preventative replacement of those
PC components that are subject to wear in accordance with the intervals for replacement
indicated in the table below.

SDD
Depending on the type of use *
CMOS backup battery
5 years
* The interval for replacement of the flash drives (SSD) depends greatly on the type of use. A specif-
ic interval cannot be given.
Note
All drives are monitored by SIMATIC DiagBase or SIMATIC DiagMonitor software via
SMART status. As soon as the Smart status of the SSD goes to "Not OK", a message is
generated in SIMATIC DiagBase or SIMATIC DiagMonitor or during a system start of the
device. At this time, a data backup should be performed and the drive replaced.
