2.6.5 Operating system not installed
Information on installing the operating systems is available for:

in Internet under http://www.siemens.com/simatichmi.
Note
The Panel PC 670/870 is optionally available without an operating system.
During the installation of a third party operating system, the user must integrate all software components (e. g. drivers) required for the operating system by himself.
The Panel PC 670/870 offers specific application functions (e.g. touchscreen, function keys on the front side) beyond the functional scope of a standard PC. When a third party operating system is installed by the user, the usability of these application functions cannot be guaranteed, in contrast to a
Panel PC 670/870 with operating system supplied by Siemens.
When a third party operating system is integrated in the Panel PC 670/870, support can only be provided by Siemens AG to a minimum extent for the reasons explained.
Note
Operating systems which do not support USB (e.g. DOS) cannot be used with the Panel PC 670/870.
