Dell Precision FX100 Specifications
Dell Precision FX100
The Dell Precision™ FX100 is a true zero-client communication solution that uses PC-over-IP® technology to
support scenarios ranging from mainstream oce use to extreme workstation/visualization application use.
The Dell Precision FX100 is the ideal platform for both the Virtual Remote Desktop and the Dedicated Remote
Workstation solutions.
Dedicated remote workstation
The combination of the Dell Precision FX100 and the Dell
Precision R5400 Rack Workstation oers advanced, innovative
and relevant technologies to overcome some tough traditional
challenges—and succeeds where other solutions have struggled
to deliver:
• Centralizing and accessing critical data and applications
in a secure location
• Eliminating the need for workstation users to be in
inhospitable or hazardous areas
• Enabling faster moves and changes as project teams
are reassigned
• Retaining performance and other benefits of a standardsbased workstation for remote users
• Addressing the distance limitations of traditional wired
KVM solutions
World-class architecture for world-class
performance
The Dell Precision FX100 consists of a PCIe remote access host
card housed in the host Dell Precision R5400 workstation and a
remote portal device connected to the PCIe host card via standard
networking. Communication is accomplished using the worldclass PC-over-IP protocol, which can have many advantages.
It is operating system and application agnostic, delivers the full
capability of the graphics card housed in the host workstation,
and oers full support for USB and audio. Using advanced
compression algorithms and dedicated hardware acceleration
to perform both encryption and compression, the Dell Precision
FX100 delivers an outstanding remote user experience limited only
by the network infrastructure. The portal device is a low power
consuming, fanless, driverless and stateless device. The simplicity
of this advanced approach eliminates the need to equip the
remote user with a second client device (with second operating
system, specialized drivers, graphics subsystem, etc.).

Precision FX100 enables flexible configurations, including support
for up to two digital displays.
Forget about managing the client device. The Dell Precision
FX100 Zero Client has no image to manage—literally, none.
Instead, this innovative, firmware-based decompression device
provides bi-directional communication with your VMware Viewbased2 virtual PCs. Once the Dell Precision FX100 is installed,
updates to the device are similar to BIOS updates on PCs: rare
events, delivered as a single replacement package and secure
from tampering or changes.
Developed specifically for the purpose of enabling a best-inclass remote user experience, and drawing on the best imaging,
silicon and network techniques, the Dell Precision FX100 provides
support for all the capabilities of a PC including USB, motion
graphics and audio. The Dell Precision FX100 is designed to
work over industry-standard IP networks in conjunction with
VMware View.
Zero PC and near-zero footprint
The Dell Precision FX100 is very small and consumes very little
power. It is fanless, driverless and stateless— the ultimate in
simplicity for devices that sit at the edge of the network, sideby-side with the users. The simplicity of this advanced approach
eliminates the need to equip even remote users with a complex
client device (with a full operating system, specialized drivers,
graphics subsystem, etc.).
Virtual remote desktop
The Dell Precision FX100 is now also a key component of Dell’s
Virtual Remote Desktop Solution, designed for businesses that
need to centralize client desktops while providing employees with
the performance and flexibility of traditional PCs. Equipped with
audio in/out, multiple USB and two DVI connections, the Dell
