The industrial server has its own power switch. Switching the system on or off or connecting or disconnecting the power supply to the device starts or switches it off. To avoid data loss, close the running software and shut down the operating system properly before switching off the device.
There is a UID (Unit Identification Purpose) button with LED in the connection section of the device. You can use this button to check whether the device is in operation or switched off. If you press the UID button, the blue UID LED lights up when the device is running. If you press the button again, the display is disabled.
Driver installation
When you switch on the device for the first time, the optionally pre-installed operating system will be started. For any additional hardware you have connected, you have to install the drivers yourself afterwards. In addition, the Beckhoff Device Manager starts automatically. The Device Manager is a software from Beckhoff that supports you in configuring the device.
If you have ordered the device without an operating system, you must install this and the driver software for the additional hardware you have connected and for the components inside the device. Please follow the instructions in the documentation for the operating system and the additional components.
