Section 2: Product Features
Noted for its design, features, cost efficiency and performance in serving
professional users, the Integrated Client Transmitter is a full-featured virtual
machine desktop client combined with a high-performance keyboard, video
and mouse (KVM) Transmitter Extender.
This compact, all-in-one module eliminates the need for a separate client device in extended virtual
desktop infrastructure (VDI) applications, increasing system security, reducing IT complexity, and
using up to 50% less rack space than traditional configurations.
Thinklogical’s Integrated Client Transmitter hosts any standard VDI Client software, including
those produced by VMware®, Citrix®, Microsoft® and Linux and is compatible with most third party
accredited software images.
Before Thinklogical’s Integrated Client solution, VDI meant purchasing and back-racking separate
zero/thin client machines in a secure IT space, attaching them to rack-mounted transmitters, and
then extending the connections to the display, keyboard and mouse via a receiver located at the
user’s work station.
Thinklogical’s integrated approach dramatically increases the security of a VDI
infrastructure by removing network cables from the user location and putting them behind
the Transmitter in a secure rack room.
The high-density system is modular, hot-swappable and supports up to four Integrated Client
Transmitters per CHS-HP4 Chassis. Configurations support single-head or dual-head systems
with uncompressed frame rate resolutions up to 4K at 30Hz.
Compatible with Thinklogical’s Velocity, Q-Series and TLX line of products.

What is a Thin Client/Zero Client?
A thin client, such as that in an Integrated Client Transmitter, is a remote, lightweight computer linked to
a larger, server-based computing environment that does most of the heavy work, such as launching
software programs, crunching numbers, and storing data. A zero client (or ultrathin client) is like a thin
client, but with no local storage or flash memory. A conventional desktop PC, in contrast, is a fat or thick
client.
The HALT Button
The HALT button provides visual status of the CPU’s current state. During normal operation, the
HALT button is continuously lit blue. When halted, it will blink red.
If necessary, a System Administrator or other user may press the HALT button to suspend operation of
the CPU if the operating system does not respond to the normal power-down procedure. (For normal
power-down procedures, see pg. 23.)
CPU Active (HALT is lit BLUE) CPU Halted (HALT is blinking RED)

TheStatus LEDs
Each Integrated Client Transmitter’s SFP+ modules have helpful Status LEDs to allow users to asses
the condition of each connection at a glance.
See APPENDIX A: Integrated Client Transmitter & CHS-HP4 Chassis Quick Start Guide,pg. 26.

Integrated Client Transmitter Product Manual thinklogical Rev. F, March 2019
Front Panel TEMPERATURE, STATUS and ALARM LEDs
When mounted in a rack, the Front Panel should be unobstructed and accessible so that the Module
Temperature and Status LEDs and the Chassis Fans and Alarms LEDs are visible.
The Module TEMPERATURE indicator is driven by the installed module(s).
Blue = normal operation Red = over-temperature state
The Module STATUS indicator is also driven by the installed module(s).
Blue = normal operation Red = status alert
The Chassis FANindicator is driven by the module installed furthest from the cooling fans.
Blue = normal operation Red = slow or stopped fan
The Chassis ALARM Indicator monitors the temperature, status and chassis fan signals.
Blue = normal operation Red = temperature, status and/or fan failure
The Temperature and Status LEDs are ON for slots with installed modules only. All others will be OFF.
The Chassis Fans LED will be ON if at least one module installed. If no modules are installed, the
indicator will be OFF.
The Chassis Alarm LED will be ON if at least one module installed. If no modules are installed, the
indicator will be OFF.
The Chassis Alarm contacts are Form C Dry Contacts with a nominal switching capacity
of 1A @ 30VDC. There are connections for normally open,common and normally
closed contacts. Contacts will change state in response to an alarm condition.
Desktop or Rack-Mount the Chassis
You may choose to place your CHS-HP4 Chassis on or under a shelf or desktop (rubber feet included,
under-desk mounting brackets, Kit ENCA000797, available), or rack-mount it using the supplied EIA 19”
mounting brackets. In any mounting configuration, the front panel should be visible and unobstructed so
that the Power Supplies, Alarm and Status LEDs are accessible. All connections are made on the rear of
the chassis. The CHS-HP4 Chassis does not need to be opened or accessed.
The sturdy, metal case allows units to be stacked as needed (maximum of four units per stack, with a
minimum of two inches of clearance between stacks for adequate ventilation).

The Power Supply Modules
The CHS-HP4 is powered by two 12V, 2x4 open frame Power Supplies. Each supply is rated for 250W
with 300LFM (5.4 CFM) of airflow (fans ON). Each supply is rated for 155W if convection cooled (fans
OFF). Each supply provides 40W per module or 160W for a fully loaded chassis. Each Power
Supply, with convection cooling only, will continue to provide sufficient current if one or both Power
Supply Fans ever fail.
Both Power Supply Modules have an ON/OFF
switch and a blue LED to indicate that power is
ON.
Each Power Supply Module slides into the
chassis on card guide rails and connects to the
Midplane via two connectors:
•120 VAC to the Power Supply input
•+12 VDC to the Power Supply output, status
signals and LEDs.

Unpacking the CHS-HP4 Chassis
The CHS-HP4 is designed to be mounted in a standard EIA 19” rack (or on a desktop: See pg. 15).
All physical connections to the product use industry-standard connectors. Non-supplied cables that may
be needed are commercially available. All connections are found on the rear of the unit.
Step 1 Carefully remove the chassis from its shipping package and inspect it to make certain that it
is in good condition.
Step 2 Verify that the Power Supplies and Modules are fully seated in the chassis and that the
screws are secure.
Step 3Ensure that all the SFP modules are sealed with a removable dust plug.
Step 4 When the device has been inspected and found to be in suitable condition, the installation
process can begin.
Note: Whether mounting the chassis in a rack or on a desktop, insure that air flow to the
fans is not restricted (minimum 2” of free space on all sides).
Note: A red status LED on the chassis front panel will illuminate if any of the sensors
detect an over temperature condition.
Connecting to the CHS-HP4 Chassis
Power-ON the Chassis
•Ensure that the two power supplies and the modules are fully seated before applying power.
•Plug both AC line cords (PWR-000006) into the Power Supply input recepticles and connect them to
a standard AC source.
•Connect the system’s fiber-optic and copper cables.
•Ensure that all devices on the Receiver side are properly connected and powered ON.
•On the Front Panel, flip the Power Supply Switches to the ON ( l ) position. (The installe modules will
also turn on.)

See APPENDIX A: Integrated Client Transmitter Quick Start Guide,pg. 26.

Page 19
Integrated Client Transmitter Product Manual thinklogical Rev. F, March 2019
Pluggable SFP+ Modules
Each Integrated Client Transmitter contains up to four SFP+ modules that serve as the optic couplers
for the fiber cables to and from Thinklogical transmitter and receiver extenders.
The SFP+ Optical Module is a 10Gbs Short-Wavelength Transceiver designed for use in bi-directional
Fiber Optic Channel links. The modules are hot-pluggable and operate on 3.3VDC.
Always use dust caps to protect against dust and damage when a fiber optic connector or port is
not attached to a device. All Thinklogical SFPs are fully populated with dust plugs upon shipment.
Note: It is good practice to immediately install dust plugs in unused SFP modules and on
the ferrules of unconnected fiber-optic cables.
Fiber-Optic Cables
On most Thinklogical products, fiber-optic cables
connect an SFP’s output port (Transmit) to any
other SFP’s input port (Receive).
OPTICAL OUTPUT PORT (Transmit)
OPTICAL INPUT PORT (Receive)
Requirements: Thinklogical recommends connecting Extenders and Matrix Switches with SX+ Laser
Enhanced Fiber-optic Cable, 50 or 62.5 microns, terminated with LC type connectors. Multi-mode fiber
can extend up to 400 meters (1300 feet) and Single-mode fiber can extend up to 80km (50 miles).
Handling Fiber Optic Cable: Unlike copper cabling, fiber optic cable requires special handling. A
small speck of dust or a scratch to the ferrule tip (the end of the connector) can attenuate the
optical signal, rendering the cable inoperable.
Warning! The ends of the connectors (the
ferrule) should never come in contact with
any foreign object, in-cluding fingertips.
Always install a dust cap immediately on the
ferrule of any unused fiber to protect the tip.
Warning! Minimum bend diameter must be no
less than 3”. Be careful not to kink or pinch
the fiber when using ties.
Dust cap installed
on the ferrule.
