Faults and fixes 6AG4114-3HG32-2BX1
6AG4114-3HG32-2BX1 (IPC847E): which LED is red and what does it mean?
On the front: POWER yellow is idle state or shut down, green is in operation; HDD green on access to the drive; ETHERNET 1 to 3 green with data traffic; WATCHDOG red means expired; TEMP red that the CPU or device temperature is critical; FAN red that the front fan, the fan on drive cage type A or the fan of the single power supply (400 W) is defective. The LEDs HDD0 ALARM to HDD3 ALARM belong to the RAID and monitoring software: one red LED means the associated drive is not OK, all LEDs flashing that the synchronisation is running (RAID not yet OK), all LEDs lit that RAID is not OK and the monitoring could not locate the faulty drive, in which case the RAID software helps. With a redundant power supply each module has its own LED (off: out of service, green: in operation, red: failed, no redundancy) and the alarm reset button switches off the signal tone. On the removable tray: Power green when a drive is installed, Activity flashing when the drive is active. The on/off button and the reset button for emergencies are behind the front door.

6AG4114-3HG32-2BX1 (IPC847E): RAID degraded or drive defective: how do I integrate a new drive?
A defective drive is reported by SIMATIC IPC DiagBase or DiagMonitor, by the HDD ALARM LEDs on the front and by the RAID software: Intel Optane Memory and Storage Management for the onboard RAID (Manage tab, 'Storage System View', right-click a drive or the volume) or maxView Storage Manager for the hardware RAID adapter card. In the delivery state the onboard RAID does not integrate a replaced drive by itself: open the Manage menu, right-click the new drive at the top of the list in 'Storage System View' and select 'Mark as spare'; the drive then appears among the mounted drives. Prefer automatic: set the 'Auto-rebuild on hot plug' option under Settings to 'Enabled'; a system with a hot-spare drive integrates it automatically in the event of an error. Note: an automatically integrated drive is erased without warning, all partitions and data on it are lost, so use a brand new drive. A RAID5 system ('striping with parity') keeps working on the remaining drives after a defective drive or a cable problem; with a hot-spare drive the system integrates it automatically in the event of an error and the synchronisation starts by itself. In a system with two independent drives the second drive (SATA port 1) is not yet set up on delivery. The synchronisation takes, as a guide value, less than 3 hours at 90% drive load, with extremely high load hours to days; the system may respond with a delay meanwhile, so do not operate safety-critical functions until the synchronisation is complete.

6AG4114-3HG32-2BX1 (IPC847E): temperature, fan, watchdog or battery alarm in DiagBase or DiagMonitor
SIMATIC IPC DiagBase (supplied with a Windows installation) or the optionally ordered DiagMonitor (via the network, from version 5.1.0) monitors the device. Temperature: sensors at critical points such as the processor, with high and low limits per sensor; when a limit is exceeded the software adjusts the speed of the device and power supply fans and a temperature alarm follows. Fans: underspeed, failure and a cable break of the tachometer line give a fan alarm. Note: the single power supply (850 W) does not report a fan error; if that fan fails, the device switches off automatically to protect against overheating. The redundant power supply monitors both its power inputs and fans and gives an acoustic alarm. Watchdog: if it is not addressed within the configured time, an alarm follows and, as configured, a hardware reset, a restart or a shutdown. Battery: when the first warning threshold is reached, the CMOS backup battery runs for at least one more month. Drives: SMART status, also in RAID (Normal, OK, Degraded, Rebuild); when it goes to 'Not OK', back up your data and replace the drive. Preventive replacement according to Siemens: drives and fans 3 years, backup battery 5 years, the filter pad depending on the degree of soiling. Permitted ambient temperature in operation: 0 to +40 °C or 0 to +50 °C, depending on the drives installed (tables in 7.6.1; SATA Enterprise drives from +5 °C).

6AG4114-3HG32-2BX1 (IPC847E): wrong time and date, BIOS settings lost: the CMOS backup battery
Set date and time with F2 during the boot operation in the Main tab of the firmware. If they are still wrong afterwards, the backup battery is dead: replace it only with the same type, the lithium cell CR2450-N (Siemens article number A5E00047601). Note the firmware settings first, because they are deleted when the battery is changed, and disconnect the device fully from the mains. Open the device, remove expansion cards if necessary, take the battery out of its socket and press the new one in with slight pressure. Then check the firmware settings. Siemens gives a replacement interval of 5 years, and DiagBase or DiagMonitor warns at the first threshold at least one month in advance.

6AG4114-3HG32-2BX1 (IPC847E) does not boot: Windows does not start, 'Boot device not found' or after a BIOS update
For 'Boot device not found': under 'Boot > Boot device' set the boot medium to 'Enabled' and to the top of the priority, and activate UEFI mode if the medium is set up with GPT. After a drive change the system does not boot from the RAID array if it does not have the highest boot priority, and the SATA port shows 'unused' if the removable tray is not fully pushed in: reboot with a functioning drive. If Windows aborts with 'Status: 0xc0000225 … a required device is inaccessible', the boot loader file BCD is damaged and you restore Windows from the supplied data storage medium. If the device crashes during start-up on an external power supply with insufficient output (for example a UPS), use a more powerful one; if it does not start or switches off immediately, an expansion card may be feeding a counter voltage into the device. If the device crashes during start-up after an expansion card was fitted, remove the card and restart; if a card is not detected, reseat it and clean the contact surfaces with pure ethanol. A firmware update deletes all BIOS settings: save them to a file first (Exit tab). If the device no longer starts after a failed update there is BIOS Recovery: a USB stick with the file 'EFI\UpdateCapsule\CapsuleUpdateFile1000.bin', the recovery jumper in position '3-4 BIOS Recovery', switch on, wait for the update to start, and afterwards the jumper back to '2-3'.

What do I check when replacing a 6AG4114-3HG32-2BX1 (IPC847E)?
The product phase-out of the IPC847E and the IPC647E commences on 1 October 2026; Siemens advises switching to the SIMATIC IPC Rx-528A or IPC Rx-548A in good time (product note 110007134 of 5 October 2026). For questions to Siemens and when choosing a replacement, have the article number (MLFB) from the rating plate, the BIOS or image version and the installed hardware and software at hand; the Windows licence is on the COA label on the device. Take the same order variant: drive cage type A or B, single (400 or 850 W) or redundant (350 W) power supply, RAID1 or RAID5 with or without hot-spare drive, processor, memory, graphics card and the Windows version.

Has the manufacturer discontinued the 6AG4114-3HG32-2BX1, and what is the successor?
Siemens announced on 5 October 2026 the phase-out of the SIMATIC IPC647E and IPC847E: the phase-out period commences on 1 October 2026, and Siemens asks to switch to the SIMATIC IPC Rx-528A or IPC Rx-548A in good time (product note 110007134). If the installation keeps running, Van Haelen supplies the 6AG4114-3HG32-2BX1 refurbished and tested, with a 24-month warranty, and exchanges or repairs your own unit; a fault then does not force a conversion.
Fault not fixed: replace, exchange or repair the 6AG4114-3HG32-2BX1?
Replacing from stock is the fastest route when a machine is down. Van Haelen supplies the 6AG4114-3HG32-2BX1 refurbished: tested to this family's test protocol, with a test report per serial number, with a 24-month warranty. The current lead time is shown with the condition on this page. Prefer an exchange: you get a refurbished unit straight away and return the faulty one within 14 days. Repairing your own unit is also possible: diagnosis, then a fixed price.
What information should I send for a quick diagnosis?
A photo of the rating plate (order number, product version, firmware), the exact fault code or LED state, when the fault occurs (at power-up, on enable, under load) and what you have already tried. For PLCs an export of the diagnostic buffer, for drives the parameter set. With that we can usually say the same day whether replacing, exchanging or repairing is best.
