Features

The pictures below show CD8620- and CD6620-series thin client features. Some features
vary by model.

Thin Client
Overview

A Cloud Desktop, or thin client, is a remote computing device that connects a user’s
monitors, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and other peripherals to remote PC blades (computers)
and to virtual desktops (VMs). As shown below, computing resources are typically located in
remote data centers.

Thin clients enable users to work on a blade or VM as if it is a local PC using a remote
connection protocol. See the documentation for the remote protocol application that you use
for additional information.

Safety and
Precautions

Prevent ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage to smart card readers by
always discharging your body and smart card before using a reader (for
example, by touching a grounded, unpainted, metal object). ESD can vary
depending on many environmental conditions, including clothing that users

wear and how they handle smart cards. ESD damage can potentially cause
unsupported card reader behavior including failure. Always perform ESD prevention steps
before using the card reader.

 Do not install the thin client in areas where it can become wet or be exposed to water.
 Only use the power cord shipped with the thin client.

 Ensure there is four inches of space surrounding the thin client. Inadequate ventilation can

damage the device.

Setting up a
Thin Client

The steps below show how to set up a thin client.

Step

Action

1

Carefully unpack the thin client and components. Ensure that you have
the following items:

 Power cord (included)
 USB mouse
 USB keyboard

 DVI monitors

2

Place the thin client in its pedestal and use the included thumb screw to
secure the pedestal to the thin client.

3

Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the thin client (be sure that USB 2.0
and 3.0 connectors are connected to appropriate ports).

4

Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the rear of the thin client
and to the Ethernet port on the remote compute device or network device.

Models CD662x only: The network interfaces for the add-on SFP card (SFP
module) and the onboard RJ45 are both enabled. You can disable either
network interface from the BIOS.

5

Optionally, connect a printer to the thin client.

Setting up a
Thin Client
(continued)

Step

Action

6

Connect the included power cord and AC adapter, and then plug the adapter
into the rear of the thin client. Continue by plugging the power cord into an
AC power outlet.

7

Power on the thin client by pressing the power button.

NOTE: The thin client displays the BIOS splash screen and a Windows
operating system animation, then the displays are blank. After several
moments, power off the thin client by pressing the power button, then power
it on again. A message is displayed showing that the Admin user password is
expired and must be changed. The existing Admin password is blank (an
empty value, as noted in User Accounts below).

8

If the thin client contains a smart card reader:
 Install a smart card reader driver on the remote device to which users

connect. Drivers are available at www.clearcube.com/support.

 Be sure that the Windows operating system Smart Card service

(SCardSvr) is running on the remote device to which users connect. See
operating system documentation for more information.

You can now use remote connection software to connect to a remote computing device.

User Accounts

Depending on configuration, thin clients can include Windows Embedded® Standard 7
operating system. The thin client boots to the Admin user and the default password is an
empty value (blank).

NOTE: Change administrator password immediately after logging in.
