System Settings
A continuous check is carried out on the PC’s system resources. These graph bars are located
under the system settings menu and indicate the performance of the system. Often systems grow
bit by bit and no care is given to memory, hard disk space or CPU usage. This can result in very
slow operation or, in the case of lack of hard disk space, a computer crash.
Real-time indicators are:
CPU usage The CPU usage displays how hard the processor is working. If this is
continuously on 100% the system will be slow and would improve substantially if
the processor is upgraded. During backups etc. this indicator will go to 100%
which is quite normal since these tasks are processor intensive.
Memory This displays the amount of RAM in use by the computer in total. Often other
applications running in the background occupy a lot of memory leaving less than
expected for the access control application. A continuous 100% bar shows that
adding memory will improve performance substantially.
HDD Usage This should never come to close to 90%. Clean up unwanted and very old files
on the computer to free up disk space. If there is not sufficient hard disk space
available, the computer will become very slow and eventually will stop operating.
Refer to your Windows manual for further details.
