Administrator Guide
CAUTION: Be careful of application settings that write to the C drive, which resides in disk space in particular, those applications
which by default write cache les 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 conguration 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 RAM Disk) of the thin client. It is recommended that you do not use this drive to save
data that you want to retain.
Drive C
Drive C is the on-board non-volatile ash memory. We recommend 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 3 MB, the thin 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 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 Unied 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 ush les of the Unied Write Filter cache and any thin client conguration changes still in cache will
be lost. Items that are written to the Unied Write Filter cache or directly to the disk if the Unied Write Filter is disabled during normal
operations include:
• Favorites
• Created connections
• Delete/edit connections
For information on the role of NetXClean in keeping the disk space clean, see Understanding the NetXClean Utility.
Mapping Network Drives
Administrators can map network drives. However, to retain the mappings after the thin client device is restarted, complete the following:
1 Log in as an administrator.
2 On the Start menu, click File Explorer.
The File Explorer window is displayed.
3 In the left pane, right-click the This PC option, and then click Map Network Drive.
The Map Network Drive dialog box is displayed.
4 Select the drive letter from the Drive drop-down list, and type or browse for the folder you want to connect to.
5 Select the Reconnect at logon check box.
6 Empty the les of the Unied Write Filter cache during the current system session.
Since a User logon account cannot ush the les of the Unied Write Filter cache, the mappings can be retained by logging o from
the user account. The system must not shut down or restart, logging back on using an administrator account, and then removing the
les of the cache.
TIP
: A remote home directory can also be assigned by using a user manager utility or by other means known to an
administrator.
7 Click Finish to complete the network drive mapping.
