Before You Begin
Personal and
product safety
CAUTION:
Prevent ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage to ClientCube and smart
card readers by always discharging your body and smart card before using
a reader (for example, by touching a grounded, unpainted, metal object).
ESD can vary depending on many environmental conditions, including
clothing that users wear and how they handle smart cards. ESD damage
can potentially cause unsupported card reader behavior including failure.
Always perform ESD prevention steps before using the card reader.
Inspect
packaging
ClearCube applies tamper-evident tape to ClientCube packaging to ensure security throughout
delivery. If ClientCube packaging or hardware (including holographic seals on the Secure KVM)
shows any evidence of disruption, call ClearCube Support immediately at [phone].
Not included in
package
Before installing a ClientCube, be sure to have
a network cable for each zero client, and
optionally, a network switch.
Setting up ClientCube
Before setup
The table below shows steps to take after unpacking a ClientCube, before installation.
Step
Action
1
Ensure all required infrastructure is in place and is configured. Depending on your
deployment, this can include
DHCP servers
a copper network (including switches, routers, and so on)
a fiber network (including media converters, switches, routers, and so on)
VMware View infrastructure, and
CAC or smart card components and authentication/single-sign-on infrastructure
2
Record MAC addresses of Zero Clients and Host Cards for use during deployment
and configuration. (A configuration label on each ClearCube device specifies a MAC
address.)
3
If you are using physical devices with PCoIP Host Cards, download and install audio
and GPU drivers appropriate for your host card. ClearCube Host Cards only support
drivers available from ClearCube Support.
4
Optionally, install a CAC driver on any computing devices requiring CAC support.
