CD7424SFPST Zero Client

Zero Client Overview

ClearCube® CD7424SFPST Zero Clients connect to supported
ClearCube PC blades and virtual machines containing V5x20
Dual Host cards to provide the following:

• Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) socket, accepting various
Gigabit Ethernet modules

• Support for multi-mode, single-mode, and WDM single-mode
fiber media and for copper media

• Integrated smart card reader

• Support for up to two independently-configurable monitors

• PC–over–IP™ (PCoIP™) processors, delivering PC video and
audio over an IP network

• Three USB ports

• HD audio in (front) and HD 4.0 audio out

ClearCube PC blades are typically located in remote data centers.
Each blade user has a CD7424SFPST Zero Client on their desk, which
they use to connect to a remote blade or VM over an IP network
(consisting of fiber and Ethernet segments). Users connect monitors,
pointing devices, and other peripherals to their client, enabling them
to work on the blade or VM as if it is a local PC. The connection
between the zero client and the remote device is over PCoIP protocol.
Inside the blade, a V5x20 Dual Host card manages the PCoIP session.

Ensuring Client & Host Firmware Compatibility

ClearCube PCoIP zero clients and host cards must use identical
firmware versions. If you are upgrading portions of existing
ClearCube deployments, ensure that all PCoIP devices use the same
firmware version. Additionally, devices must use firmware version

3.0 or higher in a VMware

Guide and PCoIP Firmware Support and Compatibility Guide on
the ClearCube Support site for instructions about identifying and
updating PCoIP device firmware.

Smart Card Reader Setup

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.

Driver Requirement

To use the smart card reader, install a reader driver on the remote
device to which you connect and ensure that the card reader
service is running on the remote device. Download the driver to
install on devices from the CD7424SFPST Drivers section of
ClearCube Support site at www.clearcube.com/support

. The file
contains drivers for all supported operating systems and
installation instructions.

Pre-Session Authentication Firmware Requirement

TERA firmware revision 3.5.1 (or above) is required to support
pre-session authentication in your environment.

Mandatory Setup & Cooling Requirements

• Ensure at least 4 inches of space around all zero client edges
and at least 2 inches of space above the client.

• Power Button Colors

– Green (solid): CD7424SFPST is powered on.

– Green (blinking): PCoIP session is sleeping. Press any key

on the keyboard to wake the session.

– Orange: CD7424SFPST is powered off.

• Power Button Operations

The link indicator displays one of the following:

– Green—a session is established between the client and a blade.

– Off—there is no session between the client and a blade.

• Remote PC Power—when an CD7424SFPST is connected to
a remote PC host, you can press the Remote PC button on the

• Ambient temperature around a client must not exceed 35° C (95° F).

• Do not stack any objects on top of the zero client.

• Do not block the zero client’s side vents by leaning papers,
folders, computer speakers, or any other objects against the
sides of the client.

• Adjacent furniture (file drawers, desk supports, chairs) do not
block or enclose any sides of the zero client.

• Ensure that the zero client is standing vertically.

• Do not place the zero client in enclosed environments such as
on a shelf or inside a drawer.

• Ensure that cables connected to the zero client are supported.

Setting up the CD7424SFPST Zero Client
