NOTE: The Windows Time service is Stopped by default. You can Start the service via the administrative tools control panel applet. You may want to Start the service and maintain correct time because some applications may require access to the local thin client time. To open the Date and Time Properties dialog, click on the time area in the task bar or double-click the Date and Time icon in the Control Panel. Local Drives The following sections describe the local drives located on the thin client. Drive Z Drive Z is the onboard volatile memory (MS-RAMDRIVE) on the logic board of the thin client. Because drive Z is volatile memory, HP recommends that you do not use this drive to save data that you want to retain. For RAMDisk configuration instructions, see HP RAMDisk on page 39. For information about using the Z drive for roaming profiles, see Roaming Profiles on page 11. Drive C and Flash Drive C is in the onboard flash drive. HP recommends that you do not write to drive C, as writing to drive C reduces the free space on the flash. CAUTION: If the available free space on the flash drive is reduced to below 10 MB, the thin client becomes unstable. A write filter is used by the thin client for security and to prevent excessive flash write activity. Changes to the thin client configuration are lost when the thin client is restarted unless the write filter cache is disabled or a -commit command is issued during the current boot session. See the write filter topics in Enhanced Write Filter Manager on page 36 for instructions to disable the cache. Enable the write filter when you no longer want permanent changes. 10 Chapter 3 Configuration

Local Drives
The following sections describe the local drives located on the thin client.
Drive Z
Drive Z is the onboard volatile memory (MS-RAMDRIVE) on the logic board of the thin client. Because
drive Z is volatile memory, HP recommends that you do not use this drive to save data that you want to
retain. For RAMDisk configuration instructions, see
HP RAMDisk
on page
39
. For information about
using the Z drive for roaming profiles, see
Roaming Profiles
on page
11
.
Drive C and Flash
Drive C is in the onboard flash drive. HP recommends that you do not write to drive C, as writing to drive
C reduces the free space on the flash.
CAUTION:
If the available free space on the flash drive is reduced to below 10 MB, the thin client
becomes unstable.
A write filter is used by the thin client for security and to prevent excessive flash write activity. Changes
to the thin client configuration are lost when the thin client is restarted unless the write filter cache is
disabled or a
-commit
command is issued during the current boot session. See the write filter topics
in
Enhanced Write Filter Manager
on page
36
for instructions to disable the cache. Enable the write
filter when you no longer want permanent changes.
