Saving Files and Using Local Drives
Administrators need to know the following information about local drives and saving files.
Saving Files
Thin clients use an embedded operating system with a fixed amount of flash memory. It is recommended that you save files you want to keep on a server rather than on a thin client.
- CAUTION: Be careful of application settings that write to the C drive, which resides in flash memory in particular, those applications which by default write cache files to the C drive on the local system. If you must write to a local drive, change the application settings to use the Z drive. The default configuration settings mentioned in Managing Users and Groups with User Accounts minimize writing to the C drive for factory-installed applications.
Drive Z
Drive Z is the on-board volatile memory (Dell Wyse RAMDisk) of the thin client. It is recommended that you do not use this drive to save data that you want to retain.
For RAMDisk configuration information, see Dell Wyse RAMDisk .
For information about using the Z drive with roaming profiles, see Participating in Domains .
Drive C and Flash
Drive C is the on-board non-volatile flash memory. It is recommended that you avoid writing to drive C. Writing to drive C reduces the free disk space. If the free disk space on C drive is reduced under 500 MB, the thin client will become unstable.
The File Based Write Filter (if enabled) protects
the flash 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 File Based Write Filter cache and any
thin client configuration changes
still in cache will be lost. Items that are written to the File Based
Write Filter cache or directly to the flash if the File Based Write
Filter is disabled during normal operations include:
-
Favorites
-
Created connections
-
Delete/edit connections
For information on the role of NetXClean in keeping the flash memory clean, see Understanding the NetXClean Utility .
