These Compact Operating Instructions describe the special functions of a SIMATIC IPC647D and IPC847D as a Hardware RAID system based on a PCIe hardware RAID adapter card with SAS interface for hard disks. They are intended both for programming and testing personnel who commission the device itself and connect it to other units (automation systems, programming devices) as well as for service and maintenance personnel who replace the add-on card or perform troubleshooting. Observe all safety information in the basic SIMATIC IPC647D and IPC847D Operating Instructions. The information in these Compact Operating Instructions takes precedence over statements in the basic Operating Instructions, the release notes, and online help.
