CHAPTER 4
Technical Notes
This chapter describes the technical configuration of the Eon 5000
Series appliance.
Storage Configuration
Flash Disk
The Eon 5000 Series computing appliance contains a Flash mem-
ory based file system where the operating system and local applica-
tion files are stored. The Flash disk is divided into two partitions.
These partitions are drive C:, where the main operating system
software is stored, and drive D:, where files necessary to update
your appliance are stored.
Note: It is recommended that you save files on a server and not on
the flash storage in your appliance. If the unused space on Drive C:
is reduced to 3 megabytes, the appliance may become unstable. If
the unused space on Drive C: is reduced to 2MB or less the appli-
ance may become inoperable. In addition, do not delete, remove, or
alter any files in drive D: or your appliance may not perform prop-
erly.
Temporary RAM
Disk
The Eon 5000 Series computing appliances have a virtual disk
which utilizes a portion of the system memory. This virtual drive is
labelled Z: and is used to store temporary data. However, this stor-
age is volatile and will be erased when the appliance is shut down
or rebooted. Therefore, any files that you want to keep and use
again should not be stored on drive Z:.
