ENWW Standard Features 1
Thin Client Management Solutions
Since this Streaming Thin Client is flashless, it is specifically for use with streaming operating system
applications, such as HP Image Manager, HP TeachNow, and Citrix Provisioning Server. A local
operating system cannot be installed on this device, so it cannot execute Linux or Windows Embedded
Standard. Typically this type of client receives a preboot executable via PXE, and then connects via
Ethernet to a remote server which contains the disk image for this client.
