Saving files and using local drives
Thin clients use an embedded operating system with a fixed amount of disk space. Dell recommends you to save files that you want to keep on a server rather than on a thin client.
- CAUTION: Be careful of application settings that write to the drive C, which resides in disk space. By default, these applications write cache files to the drive C on the local system. If you must write to a local drive, change the application settings to use the drive Z. The default configuration settings mentioned in Managing Users and Groups with User Accounts minimize writing to the drive C for factory-installed applications.
drive Z
drive Z is the on-board volatile memory (Dell Wyse RAM Disk) of the thin client. It is recommended that you do not use this drive to save data that you want to retain.
For information about using the Z drive with roaming profiles, see Participating in Domains .
drive C
Drive C is the on-board non-volatile flash memory. Dell recommends that you avoid writing to drive C. Writing to drive C reduces the free disk space. If the free disk space on drive C is reduced under 3 MB, the thin client will become unstable.
- NOTE: Dell recommends that 3 MB of disk space is left unused. If the free disk space is reduced to 2 MB, the thin client image will be irreparably damaged and it will be necessary for you to contact an authorized service center to repair the thin client.
Enabling the Unified Write Filter protects the disk
from damage and presents an error message if the cache is overwritten. However,
if this message occurs you will be unable to flush files of the Unified
Write Filter cache and any thin client configuration changes still
in cache is lost. Items that are written to the Unified Write Filter
cache or directly to the disk if the Unified Write Filter is disabled
during normal operations include:
-
Favorites
-
Created connections
-
Delete/edit connections
