Additional Software
Risk of causing instrument unusability
The instrument is equipped with the Windows
7 operating system. Additional software
can therefore be installed on the instrument. The use and installation of additional soft-
ware may impair instrument function. Thus, run only programs that Rohde
& Schwarz
has tested for compatibility with the instrument software.
The drivers and programs used on the instrument under Windows
7 have been adap-
ted to the instrument. Existing instrument software must always be modified using only
update software released by Rohde
& Schwarz.

Backup and Restore of the System Partition
Before you start a backup or restore of the system partition, make sure that the hard-
ware watchdog is disabled. See
Chapter 8.3.1, "Prerequisite for Backup and Restore"
8.3.1
Prerequisite for Backup and Restore
As a prerequisite for the backup/restore process, in the BIOS settings, the hardware
watchdog must be disabled. Otherwise the backup/restore process (which normally
lasts about 10 to 15
minutes) will be terminated and fail due to a reboot issued by the
watchdog after about 4
minutes.
To disable the hardware watchdog
1. Connect an external keyboard to the USB interface.
2. Switch the R&S
DVMS off and on again.
3. In the early boot phase when prompted at the bottom of the screen, press the DEL
key of the external keyboard.
The BIOS settings are displayed.
