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.
