Thin Client
Architecture
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.

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

Safety and
Precautions

 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.

Electrostatic
Discharge
Warning

Prevent ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage to SD cards and SD
card readers by always discharging your body and SD 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.
