Local Drives

Administrators need to know the following information on local drives.

Drive Z

Drive Z is onboard volatile memory (Ms-ramdrivevolatile memory, it is recommended that you do not want to retain.

) of the Thin Client. Because drive Z is use this drive to save data that you

For Ramdisk configuration information, refer to “RAMdisk” on page 37.

For information about using the Z drive for roaming profiles, refer to “Domain Participation” on page 50.

Drive C and Flash

Drive C is onboard non-volatile flash memory. It is recommended that you avoid writing to drive C. Writing to drive C reduces the size of the flash. If the flash size is reduced to under 3 MB, the Thin Client will become unstable.

Caution

If the free flash memory size is reduced to 2 MB, the Thin Client’s image will be irreparably damaged and it will be necessary for you to contact an authorized service center to repair the Thin Client. It is highly recommended that 3 MB of flash memory be left unused.

The 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 the Write Filter cache and any Thin Client configuration changes still in cache will be lost.

Note

For information on NetXClean’s role in keeping the flash memory clean, refer to “NetXClean Utility” on page 48.

Items that are written to the Write Filter cache (or directly to the flash if the Write Filter has been flushed) during normal operations include:

Favorites

Created connections

Delete/edit connections

Saving Files

The Thin Client uses an embedded operating system with a fixed amount of flash memory. It is recommended that you save files that you want to keep on a server rather than on your 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
