Saving Files and Using Local Drives

Administrators need to know the following information about local drives and saving files.
Saving Files
Thin 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 client.
Drive C and flash memory
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 size of the flash memory. If the flash memory size is reduced to under 3 MB, the thin client will become
unstable.
When UWF is enabled, changes made on local drives are saved in the UWF overlay. If the UWF overlay is about to overflow,
the operation of the thin client becomes unstable. Items that are written to the UWF overlay (or directly to the flash
memory if UWF is disabled) during normal operations include:
 Favorites
 Created connections
 Delete/edit connections
 Application cache
170
Important It is highly recommended that 3 MB of flash memory be left unused. If the free flash memory size
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.
