Personal and
product safety

CAUTION:

Prevent ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage to ClientCube and 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.

Inspect
packaging

ClearCube applies tamper-evident tape to ClientCube packaging to ensure security throughout
delivery. If ClientCube packaging or hardware (including holographic seals on the Secure KVM)
shows any evidence of disruption, call ClearCube Support immediately at [phone].

Not included in
package

Before installing a ClientCube, be sure to have

 a network cable for each zero client, and
 optionally, a network switch.

Before setup

The table below shows steps to take after unpacking a ClientCube, before installation.

Step

Action

1

Ensure all required infrastructure is in place and is configured. Depending on your
deployment, this can include

 DHCP servers
 a copper network (including switches, routers, and so on)
 a fiber network (including media converters, switches, routers, and so on)
 VMware View infrastructure, and
 CAC or smart card components and authentication/single-sign-on infrastructure

2

Record MAC addresses of Zero Clients and Host Cards for use during deployment
and configuration. (A configuration label on each ClearCube device specifies a MAC
address.)

3

If you are using physical devices with PCoIP Host Cards, download and install audio
and GPU drivers appropriate for your host card. ClearCube Host Cards only support
drivers available from ClearCube Support.

4

Optionally, install a CAC driver on any computing devices requiring CAC support.

Procedure:
setup

The table below shows how to set up ClientCube.

NOTE

:

Follow the steps in the order listed below—be sure to connect all video cables
before connecting power to ClientCube (note that connecting power
automatically powers on ClientCube).

Step

Action

1

Connect Ethernet or fiber cables to ClientCube zero clients.

2

Connect one or more displays to the Secure KVM Console Monitor Port(s).

3

Connect a keyboard and mouse to the Console portion of the Secure KVM.

4

Optionally, connect speakers and a CAC reader to the Console portion of the Secure
KVM.

5

Connect the ClientCube power cable to a power outlet, then connect the power
adapter to ClientCube.

Result: Secure KVM and zero clients power on.

Procedure:
configure and
connect

The table below shows how to configure zero clients and remote hosts, and how to connect.

Step

Action

1

Configure zero clients using the zero client on-screen display (OSD).
Note: For more information about the OSD and configuration, see the appropriate
zero client Quick Start Guide (included) and PC-over-IP System User’s Guide
(download from ClearCube Support) for more information.

2

If you are using physical devices with PCoIP Host Cards, use a Web browser and the
Host OSD to configure the host card as appropriate for your environment. For more
information, see the documentation cited above.

3

From the zero client OSD, click Connect.
Result: If you are using direct connection or reserved DHCP addresses, you are
connected to the remote host specified during configuration. If you are using DHCP
and device discovery, a list of available hosts is displayed. Select a host to connect to.

Additional
steps

The list below shows additional ClientCube configuration steps.
 Optionally, install ClientCube accessories including color chips to distinguish each port button, and

name labels to identify each network. See Secure DVI-I KVM User Manual for more information.

 Optionally, mount the ClientCube using the ClientCube Mounting Bracket (not included). See “Pre-
