The System page, available from the Administration menu, provides several sets of statistical information, and allows you to back up and restore NetWinder files to and from your workstation.
If you click Info from the System page, you will see tables with the following information:
System Info. This lists the duration that the server has been running without a reboot, as well as the software version.
RAM. This table shows the memory used compared to the total available memory on the NetWinder. Under heavy use, it is normal for this number to approach 100%. The NetWinder will maximize its memory usage and store less-often-used data in the swap space.
Swap. This table shows the amount of swap space (virtual memory) used compared to the total available swap space on the NetWinder. This number should stay relatively small. If it reaches 100%, some services will stop because there is nowhere to store the running program data.
It is normal for your NetWinder to begin using swap space before memory is completely full; this is be-cause it recognizes services that are seldom used, and places them in swap ahead of time to allow quicker response times later.
Load. This is a measure of your NetWinder's overall level of activity. A value of 0.00 means that the NetWinder is idle; a value of 1.00 means that the NetWinder is working as hard as it can; values greater than 1.00 mean that NetWinder has slowed down its services to distribute its central processing unit (CPU) capacity between all the different jobs it is doing simultaneously.
If the load is consistently much greater than 1.00 and your NetWinder response time is too slow, you may need to add another NetWinder to the network.
Printer. This lists any jobs in the print queues. See the section called Print Server under Configuring Network Services to find out how to configure the print queues.
