Warnings

• Make sure the monitor is plugged into the appropriate DVI port and turned on, before powering unit on. Failure to do so may make the unit appear as if it is not functioning properly.

• For proper ventilation, the thin client must be placed in an open area in it vertical position. Improper mounting can use the unit to overheat and become damaged.

• Do not shut the thin client down by removing the power cord. The sudden loss of power can damage the unit.

• It is important to not interrupt the power to the thin client while doing a

firmware upgrade. Loss of power can result in a damaged operating system.

• Do not place anything on or over the terminal.

• Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss. Adjustment of the volume to “Maximum” increases the earphones' and headphones' output voltage and therefore the sound pressure.

Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

• Power Adapter ADP-36CH B 12V 3A output.

• Best Management Practices for Perchlorate Materials: The battery contains perchlorate substances. Do not throw it in the water or in the normal garbage. You cannot burn them as a way to dispose of them. Contact your local household hazardous waste. “Perchlorate Material-special handling may apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

Windows XPe

Instructions for TC5 Terminals Running Windows XPe

System Start

1. For setups utilizing a single monitor, the monitor must be connected to DVI-1 port.

2. For setups utilizing dual monitors, the DVI-2 port must be enabled via the Windows XP display settings before it will function.

Two local user accounts exist on the system:

• Administrator – The default password is Administrator (case sensitive)

• User – By default, there is no password required for this account.

The thin client automatically logs in as the “User” account. In order to log in as the “Administrator,” you must first gain access to the Window XP Logon screen. There are two ways to do this:

Alternative Desktop Computing

During User Logoff

While logged in as “User,” select “Start Menu -> Log Off.”

You will receive a small window prompt asking you to confirm. Hold down the Shift key as you press the Log Off button.

You will now be presented with the Windows XP Logon screen.

During System Bootup

As the unit is booting the Windows OS, hold down the Shift key. This will bypass the automatic login and present you with the Windows XP Logon screen.

You may now choose to login with the Administrator or User account.

FBWF Manager

The FBWF (File Based Write Filter) operates by providing a “shadow write” to the system RAM. When enabled, any writes that are normally written to the storage media, are instead redirected to the RAM overlay. During a reboot, this overlay is discarded, so the operating system remains in its original state.

Windows XPe

Instructions for TC5 Terminals Running Windows XPe (continued)

As its name implies, FBWF is based on files. This means you can exclude certain files and directories from the protection of the write filter. Any files that are in this list are ignored by FBWF and subject to modification (or deletion) just as they normally would in any standard Windows XP environment.

The TC5 includes a management utility for configuring FBWF. Only Administrators can access this utility. To open the FBWF Manager:

• Login is Administrator.

• Choose “Start Menu -> All Programs -> FBWFGUI”

• This will open the FBWF Manager window.

By default, FBWF is in an enabled state, with basic exclusions set for the “Persistent Registry” and “Documents and Settings” for all users. This means any changes made under the “C:\Documents and Settings” folder, such as desktop icons, start menu items, and browser favorites, will be written directly to the flash device immediately and without overlay protection.

Installing Additional Software

You may install third party licensed software as long as there is adequate space on the flash media. This section describes the recommended procedure for using FBWF to permanently install additional software applications:

• Login as Administrator and select “Start Menu -> All Programs -> FBWFGUI”

• Temporarily disable the write filter by clicking the Disable FBWF button, then press the Apply button.

• Reboot the terminal.

• Login again as Administrator and install the new software.

• After installation, verify the application is working as expected.

• Launch the FBWF Manager and click the Enable FBWF button. Also, make sure to re-enable the Basic Exclusions. For default exclusions, this would mean selecting the buttons for Enabled Documents and Settings for Everyone and the Enabled Persistent Registry buttons.

• Click the Apply button and Reboot the terminal one last time.
