It is possible to back up the whole hard drive. However, the 4200A-SCS system files and application
program files occupy a large portion of the storage and may not be properly recoverable unless
backed up using special software. Such backups may be justifiable only if the user directory structure
is too complex for selective backup and when storage space is plentiful.
You cannot back up files that are normally in use, such as some system files, without special backup
software. Before considering use of such software, review the precautions in Protecting software
integrity (on page 5-8).
Protect user files and system software
This section describes recommendations for software and data preservation. The recommendations
apply to any 4200A-SCS that meets the following criteria:
• Was produced during or after 2016.
• Runs Windows 10 Enterprise.
• Runs Clarius
+
applications version 1.0 or later.
Protect software integrity
The 4200A-SCS has been designed and tested for maximum system stability, reliability, and
performance in the factory-standard configuration. To protect the system software, observe the
following tips:
• Do not defragment the solid-state drive (SSD) that is preinstalled on the 4200A-SCS.
Defragmenting a SSD quickly reduces the life of the drive.
• Refer to the Embedded computer policy (on page 1-9) for information about upgrading Microsoft
®
Windows
®
software and installing third party software.
• Protect the system from viruses, which can reach the system through a facility network or a
contaminated USB flash drive. The 4200A-SCS does not contain preinstalled protection against
viruses, spyware, or malware. You are responsible for installing software protection packages.
• Do not attempt to format the system hard drive or reinstall the operating system. Attempting to do
so will make the system inoperative and require factory repair.
Do not reinstall or upgrade the Microsoft Windows operating system (OS) on any 4200A-SCS.
This action should only be done at an authorized Keithley service facility. Violation of this
precaution will void the 4200A-SCS warranty. Any attempt to reinstall or upgrade the
Microsoft Windows operating system requires a return-to-factory repair and is treated as an
out-of-warranty service, including time and material charges.
