Local Drives

Drive Z

Drive Z is onboard volatile memory (Ms-ramdrive) on the logic board of the terminal.
Because drive Z is volatile memory, it is recommended that you do not use this drive to
save data that you want to retain. See “Ramdisk” for Ramdisk configuration instructions.
See also “Domain Participation,” below, for information about using the Z drive for roaming
profiles.

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 flash size is reduced to below
3 MB, the terminal will become unstable.

Caution

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

The write filter (if ACTIVE) protects the flash from damage and presents an error message
if the cache is overwritten. However, if this occurs you will not be able to flush the write
filter cache and any terminal configuration changes still in cache will be lost.

Note

Refer to “NetXClean Utility” for its role in keeping the flash memory clean.

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

• Favorites
• Created connections
• Delete/edit connections
