A guide to using the basic software can be found in file C:\Siemensd.rtf.
• it divides the hard disk into 4 partitions (3 primary partitions and 1 extended
partition) (hard disks smaller than 4.8 GB are not supported),
• DOS (Service menu) can be booted in addition to WinNT4.0 (HMI system
software) (dual booting),
• the HMI system software (pre-installed on delivery or installed later as
additional SW by the OEM customer) operates on one NTFS partition and
• the HMI system software, the WinNT system software and DOS with the
Service menu all run on different partitions to ensure data integrity.
The following diagram shows how the partitions are utilized when the HMI system
software is installed (the partition names are typed in italics).

Partition C contains DOS 6.2 with the tools and scripts which implement
the Service menu (e.g. Ghost tools).
Partition D is used to store Ghost images, i.e. of predefined images
e.g. configured in delivery state) and of local backup images.
The WinNT system software is stored on the adjacent partition so that
it is readily transferable, e.g. as an update or for driver installation.
Partition D also contains the installation directory into which software
to be installed is first copied from a remote PG/PC before the actual
installation operation is started.
Partition E is reserved for the WinNT system software.
Partition F is the application partition for the execution of applications such as the
HMI system software (including data management and temporary
data) and HMI-OEM applications, STEP7 or customer-specific
applications (e.g. Protool).
Note
The size of the partitions shown in Fig. 8-1 depends on the size of the
hard disk.
1.1.5 Installation
Windows NT 4.0 is pre-installed on the PCU.
Windows NT 4.0 and the Service menu described below are the two main
elements of the "Basic Software Windows NT 4.0" package:
• SINUMERIK Desktop (Windows NT):
The Windows area is intended for servicing operations, i.e. it provides
Windows functionality for start-up of the control system.
In this area you can
- install the HMI system software via a network,
- install additional software (e.g. extra languages) and
- edit INI files/HW configuration (e.g. install drivers).
Caution:
Please check that there is sufficient free memory space on partition D of
the hard disk before installing new software.
Call the SINUMERIK 1. While the PCU is booting, press key "3" after you have selected the
Desktop "SINUMERIK" menu in the Boot Manager and the SINUMERIK 840D
background display has appeared.
2. Enter the password.
3. Select the first menu option "SINUMERIK Desktop" and confirm your choice
with the Input key.
The SINUMERIK Desktop will then appear on your screen.
The following functions are available in the form of script files (you can also select
them via the Service menu):
• Original SINUMERIK HMI Environ.
The contents of directories
- ADD_ON
- USER
- OEM
will be saved. The directories are then emptied, i.e. the original delivery state
is restored.
• Actual SINUMERIK HMI Environ.
This function "undoes" the restoration of the original delivery state, i.e. the
saved directory contents are copied back to the directories.
• Check SINUMERIK System.
This function checks all partitions (C, D, E, F).
It runs only in NT, but not in DOS.
• Step7 Authorizing.
If the SW SIMATIC Step7 (order No. ...................) package is installed,
it must be authorized here.
• SIEMENS D/E
You can display explanatory text, information and supplementary conditions
relating to the currently installed basic software.
Call the Service menu 1. Select the second concealed menu item under the "SINUMERIK" menu in the
Boot Manager when the PCU is booting.
The basic Service menu display appears.
2. Enter the password (if applicable).

1.2 SW installation/update
1.2.1. First runup for initial start-up
Basic principle The initial start-up operation copies the SINUMERIK 840Di system software and
Windows NT onto the hard disk of the PCU.
The PCU is shipped with its hard disk appropriately partitioned for operation of a
SINUMERIK 840Di and other SINUMERIK applications if required. The basic
start-up software is also installed:
• The boot software and other necessary start-up programs are stored on C:
• The disk image with the SINUMERIK 840D system software and Windows
NT are stored on D:\Images

Version selection The following menu is displayed when the PCU runs up for the first time:
9 Servicemenu
Select the version that you wish to install by selecting a key between "1" and "8"
and acknowledge the subsequent system prompt with "Y".
When you have acknowledged your choice, the corresponding disk image is
transferred to the hard disk (drives C:, E: and F:).
Procedure 1. INTERSVR is used on the external PG/PC to transfer the software to the
PCU. INTERSVR must be executed in DOS / Win3.11 / Win95 / Win98 if the
PG/PC has a hard disk partition with a FAT16 file structure (not FAT32 !).
2. Switch off the PCU
3. Use the parallel transmission cable (PC-Link cable, LapLink cable) to
connect parallel port LPT on the PG/PC to LPT on the PCU.
4. Copy directory HMI_Advanced from the CD to drive C:\ on the hard disk of
your PG/PC and change the directory name to "MMC102". If you do not have
enough free space on drive C:\ or the file structure on your PG/PC is not
FAT16, then you can choose another local hard disk drive (e.g. D:\). You
cannot install the software directly from the CD.
5. You can start the installation of the HMI software by entering Intersvr C: (or
the drive on which directory MMC102 is stored) in the Run screen of the
Windows Start menu.
IMPORTANT: If your PC/PG is in this state, the PCU MUST be switched off
(if it is still switched on, switch it off now).
6. SWITCH ON the PCU, select the "Service menu" in the Boot Manager.
7. Press key 1 Install/Update SINUMERIK System and enter the password if
requested (access level 1 or 2).
8. Press key 2 Install via Serial/Parallel Line.
9. Data transfer in progress. The system boots in Windows NT and the
installation is started automatically.
10. Select language (in Win NT only).
11. Select technology: Milling or turning (in Win NT only).
12. The system lists all entries made (in Win NT only).
13. The PCU is rebooted again on completion of the installation.
14. Close PC/PG server mode by pressing Alt + F4.
Note
The parallel interface is the only suitable link for installing the HMI
software.
The Interserve/Interlink SW is not a Win NT application.
1. You must use this method if your PC has only partitions with a FAT32 file
structure. To install the package, you will need the supplied CD-ROM with
the system SW. You will also need a full keyboard on your PC. Copy
INTERLNK.EXE from the HMI directory on the CD to
WINDOWS\COMMAND on the PC. Enter the following line in CONFIG.SYS:
device=c:\windows\command\interlink.exe /AUTO
2. Use the parallel transmission cable (PC-Link cable, LapLink cable) to
connect parallel port LPT on the PC to LPT on the PCU.
3. SWITCH ON the PCU,
select the "Service" menu in the Boot Manager.
4. Select key 8 Start PC Link and type in the password (access level 1 or 2)
when the prompt appears.
5. Now copy the entire contents of directory HMI_Advanced on the CD into
directory D:\INSTALL on the PCU. When all the data have been transferred,
exit INTERSVR on the PCU by pressing Alt + F4. The system then runs up in
Windows NT.
6. In Win NT: The SW is now automatically installed by the InstallShield
application on the PCU. You can make inputs in the prompt boxes of
InstallShield using the TAB and Cursor keys (TAB corresponds to the END
key on the OP031).
7. The system runs up after the PCU has rebooted.
