Configuring the RAM Disk Size

RAM Disk is a volatile memory space used for temporary data storage. It makes up the Z drive in the My Computer window. It can also be used for temporary storage of other data according to administrator discretion. For more information, see Saving Files and Using Local Drives .

The following items are stored on RAM Disk:

  • Browser web page cache

  • Browser history

  • Browser cookies

  • Browser cache

  • Temporary internet files

  • Print spooling

  • User/system temporary files

To configure the RAM Disk size:

  1. Log in as an Administrator.
  2. On the Start menu, click All apps > Dell Thin Client Application . The Dell Thin Client Application window is displayed.
  3. On the left navigation bar, click RAM Disk.
  4. In the RAM Disk size box, type or select the RAM Disk size you want to configure, and then click Apply.

    If you change the size of the RAM Disk, you are prompted to restart the system for the changes to take effect.

    • NOTE:

      The default RAM Disk size may vary depending on the thin client model and installed memory size. The minimum RAM Disk size that can be set is 2 MB. For a system with 512 MB or less of RAM, the maximum RAM Disk size that can be set is approximately 20 percent of the actual RAM, whereas for a system with more than 512 MB of RAM, the maximum is approximately 10 percent of the actual RAM.

      The default RAM size is 4 GB. For a system with 4 GB or more of RAM, the maximum RAM Disk size that you can set is limited to 1024 MB. However, the RAM disk size is set to 512 MB by default.
