NOTE: These instructions assume that devices are connected to an imaging network or other
network with a DHCP server to provide IP addresses for the blade’s PCoIP host card and
for the zero client. MAC addresses are specified on labels on the side of the blade and on
the zero client. To identify the blade host card to connect to from the zero client, you
might need to consult DHCP tables. DHCP tables should show each device’s MAC address
and the corresponding IP address assigned to the host card and to the zero client.
1. Be sure to have the following:
Ethernet cables, zero client power supply, and a ClearCube zero client compatible with
the blade’s video configuration. The blade’s video configuration is specified on a label on
the side of the blade.
A switch connected to your DHCP network.
A USB keyboard and mouse.
Monitors and monitor power cables.
Computer power cable shipped with your blade.
2. Remove the blade from the chassis. Place the blade on a stable surface, such as a bench or on
the top of a desk.
3. Connect a USB keyboard to a port on the top of the blade. (Ensure that you do not disconnect
the Ethernet cable that might be visible from this opening.)
4. Connect your monitor to a zero client as described below. Do not connect a monitor to either
DVI port on the top of the blade.
5. Connect the blade and the zero client to your network:
Connect an Ethernet cable to the blade’s dedicated PCoIP port (the right-most port on the
rear of the blade—this is the top-most port when the blade is resting on a table). Connect
the other end of the cable to a switch connected to your network.
Connect the zero client to the same switch.
Optionally, if you are imaging the blade, connect an Ethernet cable to the left-most
Ethernet port on the rear of the blade and connect the other end of the cable to the switch
(see
” on page
image requirements).
6. Connect monitors and a mouse to the zero client.
