NOTE: Additional settings can be set by manually editing the .SAM file. The enterprise .SAM file is
located at /root/writable/etc/hprdc.sam. A user-specific .SAM file called hprdc.sam is in the user’s home
directory, currently located at /root/user/hprdc.sam. The SAM connection client searches first for the
user-specific .SAM file. If it finds this file, it stops looking and the user-specific .SAM file replaces the
enterprise .SAM file. If it cannot find the user-specific .SAM file, then it searches for the enterprise .SAM
file. Refer to
Configuration Settings on page 20 for a list of the options available for the Blade
Workstation Client series.
