6. After verifying the correct drive is selected in Drive Section, add

the appropriate values in the Paging file size for selected drive
and click Set.

7. Changing these values will require the system to be rebooted for

them to take effect. As you answer OK to subsequent screens,
you will be asked to restart the system.

Network Optimization

Few steps in the Operating System itself can optimize the Network.
Utilizing and managing the traffic on the network with your
networking equipment will yield more gains.

Service/Kernel Tuning affects the ability of the system to respond to
network traffic. If you have not applied these settings, you should
perform them now. Refer to Service/Kernel Tuning on page 9-5.

The order in which the systems access the network is important. The
Bindings should be adjusted so that each system accesses the network
in the same order. If your system has more than 1 network card, then
you should verify that the bindings for each system are in the correct
order.

Management of Traffic

If your control system uses an Ethernet Network for its Control
Network, then you can benefit by restricting the type of traffic that
occurs on this network.
