The I8020 is a Linux-based I/Port that delivers high secu-
rity and performance from a compact package. With the
ClearCube Grid Center client software pre-installed on the
I/Port, administrators can create and manage connections
between their I/Ports and centralized PC Blades. Since the
connections are established over standard Ethernet net-
works the distance between I/Ports and PC Blades is virtu-
ally unlimited.
The I8820 I/Port delivers additional flexibility to the I/Port
product family by running the Microsoft Windows XP
Embedded (XPe) operating system. Windows XPe
enables a wider variety of supported peripherals and can
support some locally installed applications such as VPN
clients.
Install your
I/Port , then connect the power supply, keyboard, mouse,
Ethernet connection, and video to the ports as indicated. Attach other
devices as desired.
Use the power button on the top of the I/Port to turn it on and off. Verify
connectivity to your network by watching for the flashing green network
activity LED in the Ethernet connector socket, and enable any necessary
ports on your switches and routers.

Your Linux-based I8020 auto-starts the Grid Center client, and you can
login to a Blade from the login screen that is displayed. If you need to log
in to the I/Port to change configurations, the default administrator ID and
password is root / clearcube . No default user ID is configured.
You can also use the ezConnect client to set up manual RDP connectivity
to PC Blades. Click on Connections, select Add, and enter the connec-
tion information to your Blade.
Grid Center Client
Your XPe-based I8820 auto-starts to a Windows XPe desktop with a lim-
ited set of applications, including the ClearCube Grid Center client and
the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol client. For full administrator
access on the XPe-based I8820, hold down the Shift key during startup
or after logging off from the default login. The default user ID and pass-
word is user / clearcube. The default administrator ID and password is
administrator / clearcube.
If you are using your I8020 or I8820 I/Port as a client managed by Grid
Center, do the following from the Grid Center Console:
1. Discover the I/Port.
2. Configure the I/Port with the Primary and Secondary Consoles’ names
to establish them as trusted machines.
3. Add the I/Port to the Grid Center authentication database.
The Grid Center authentication database allows adding and configuring
multiple I/Ports simultaneously. See the Grid Center Administrator’s
Guide for more information.
To log in directly to a Blade from the I8820 I/Port, double-click the IPort
Client Manager icon on the I/Port desktop and enter login credentials for
the I/Port. Then log into the Blade using RDP, specifying the domain and
Blade name as follows:
domain.com\blade_name
Unmanaged Client
If you are using your I8820 as an unmanaged thin client with Microsoft
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), double-click the Remote Desktop
Connection icon on the desktop. Login to your desired host system
using that host’s fully qualified name. For example:
support.clearcube.com
If using your I/Port as a client managed by ezRemote Manager, please
