6.4 Memory expansion
Depending on the device version there are two or four slots for memory modules on the
motherboard. You can expand the memory up to 32 GB (for SIMATIC IPC547E with short
enclosure up to 16 GB). Of which 3.2 GB can be used in a 32-bit operating system.
A detailed description of possible memory expansion options is available in the manual of
the motherboard on the supplied "Documentation and Drivers" DVD.
6.5 Installing expansion cards
Note the following:
● Specification of the expansion cards
The device is designed for use with expansion cards conforming to PCI specification 2.3
and PCIe specification 2.0. The expansion cards must not exceed the specified
dimensions. If the height is exceeded, you may experience contact problems,
malfunctions and difficulties with the assembly.
You can find the permitted dimensions for expansion cards in the chapter "Dimensional
drawing for the installation of expansion cards (Page 112)".
Note
Output is limited for PCI expansion cards with 5 V supply voltage. The total current
consumption of the expansion card must be ≤ 25 W.
● Full-length PCI and full-length PCIe expansion cards
To insert such expansion cards into the guide rails, they must be equipped with an
extender.
Requirement
● The device is fully disconnected from the mains voltage, see chapter "Switching off the
device (Page 53)".
● The device is open, see the section "Open the device (Page 62)".
Note
The accessory pack of the device includes three long card retainers for expansion cards with
low overall height. Use these instead of the card retainers installed in the device.
