Cold Reset
Cold Reset is a boot sequence. When the PC is powered on, it is to be booted up. In
the cold reset sequence, the system usually executes a couple of basic hardware
checks, then load the operating system from hard drive to working memory -> boot.
Module
Modules refer to PLC, programming device or plug-in unit. These modules can be
local modules, expansion modules, interfaces or mass storage (mass storage module).
Module Bracket
Module bracket is used to fix the module and ensure safe contact and transportation.
Impact and vibration especially affects large and heavy modules. Therefore, it is
recommended to use module bracket for this type of module. There are also short,
light and compact modules on the market. Module bracket is not designed for these
modules, because standard fixing measures are sufficient for them.
Warm Reset

system again. Hot key CTRL+ ALT+ DEL can be used to execute warm reset.
Drivers
Program part of operating system. They modify user program data according to
specific format required by I/O devices (e.g. hard drive, printer and monitor).

prerequisite of the configuration is a RAID1 system with SATA RAID controller
(onboard or slot module) and at least two SATA detachable supports. The advantage
of hotswap is that faulty hard drive can be replaced without having to reboot the PC.
