Partitioning prior to installation
The graphic below provides an overview of how the partition is ideally allocated on your PC prior to the installation of the
CPU. To access this view, open the Disk Management in the Computer Management of your PC.
Installation on PC systems with 4 primary partitions
Windows with Legacy Boot (MBR partitioning) supports a maximum of 4 primary partitions. If more than three primary
partitions are already set up on the mass storage device on which you want to install the Software Controller, no CPU
volume can be created. Installation is not possible in this case.
Four primary partitions may exist for the following reasons:
● A retentive partition already exists for WinCC RT Advanced.
● A Software Controller was already installed on the system. The old CPU volume is not automatically deleted when
uninstalled. In this case, delete the old CPU volume (RAW partition) manually.
You have the following options to install the CPU in such a case:
● Instead of the fourth primary partition create an extended partition of sufficient size.
● You can set up multiple logical partitions or drives on this extended partition, for example, the retentive partition for
WinCC RT Advanced.
● Leave enough unpartitioned space available on the logical partition to set up the CPU volume.
