Pre Installation checks
-
In order to complete this install you will need the following items - please check the status of the following before beginning:
-
Wyse Dell D90 thin client with nGen asset tag White (P25) or Black (D90) DVI adapter - both will work Clover Mains Power Adapter Power Supply Unit USB Keyboard with nGen asset tag Mouse 3m Network Cable KVM switcher + 2 x VGA cables + 2 x USB cables 2 port USB switcher + 2 x USB cables
-
Take a picture of the environment before you start installing the VDI
Preparation
-
The thin client will use a second network cable in addition to the existing one feeding the Windows XP BOS PC. You will need to plug the supplied network cable into the network switch to provide a network connection
-
There may be cases where the site has a spare TFT to create a second area for VDI but in most cases you will need to spilt the keyboard, mouse and TFT screen between both the VDI and the XP computer using a KVM to switch between. It will need to be close in order for the VDI thin client to reach the USB printer cables.
-
Is there enough power (UPS or mains supply) available to plug the thin client in?
-
You will be fitting a USB printer switch box between the BOS PC and the printer - make sure the cables are run sensibly and do not obstruct the computer
Install KVM (if required)
-
Unbox the KVM and fit the TFT screen from the BOS PC to the KVM
-
Take a picture of the Asset Tag on the KVM
-
The KVM needs a USB keyboard and mouse.
If the BOS machine has a PS2 keyboard this will need to be swapped out as the KVM will serve as the keyboard and mouse for both the PC and the thin client -
Fit the supplied USB keyboard and USB mouse to the KVM

Install USB printer switcher as shown above

Engineers comments : Did you have any issues with the installation? Were there any pre-existing hardware issues? Are there any steps that will require a second visit or helpdesk call to be created?

Next step: Contact the IT Service desk on 01902 778004 and request the migration of the user data and the PROFILE SCRIPT to be sent to the D90. This will setup the D90 for use by the pub. It may take 10-15 minutes to take effect but afterwards will leave the D90 in 'appliance mode' where the Desktop is not visible.
