Saving Files and Using Local Drives
Administrators need to know the following information about local drives and saving files.
Saving Files
Thin clientsOptiplex 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 clientOptiplex 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 clientOptiplex client. It is recommended that you do not use this drive to save data that you want to retain.
For RAM Disk configuration information, see Dell Wyse RAM Disk.
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 to 90 percent of the total disk space, then thin clientOptiplex client will become unstable.
NOTE:We highly recommend that 3 MB of disk space is left unused. If the
free disk space is reduced to 2 MB, the thin clientOptiplex client image will be irreparably damaged and it will be necessary for you
to contact an authorized service center to repair the thin clientOptiplex client.
The File Based Write Filter (if enabled) displays
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 clientOptiplex client configuration changes
still in cache will be lost. Cache is disabled when FBWF is turned
off. 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 including:
