Warn ngs
• Make sure the monitor is plugged into the appropriate DVI port and turned
on before powering unit on. Failure to do so may make the unit appear as if
it is not functioning properly.
• For proper ventilation the thin client must be placed in an open area in it
vertical position. Improper mounting can use the unit to overheat and
become damaged.
• Do not shut the thin client down by removing the power cord. The sudden
loss of power can damage the unit.
• It is important to not interrupt the power to the thin client while doing a
firmware upgrade. Loss of power can result in a damaged operating system.
• Do not place anything on or over the terminal.
• Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing
loss. Adjustment of the volume to “Maximum” increases the earphones' and
headphones' output voltage and therefore the sound pressure.
Caut on: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of
used batteries according to the instructions.
• Power Adapter ADP-36CH B 12V 3A output.
• Best Management Practices for Perchlorate Materials: The battery contains
perchlorate substances. Do not throw it in the water or in the normal
garbage. You cannot burn them as a way to dispose of them. Contact your
local household hazardous waste. “Perchlorate Material-special handling may
apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
• Product documentation and additional warnings are available from Devon
IT’s web site at www.devonit.com.

Instructions for TC5 Terminals Running Windows XPe
System Start
1. For setups utilizing a single monitor the monitor must be connected to DVI-1 port.
2. For setups utilizing dual monitors the DVI-2 port must be enabled via the
Windows XP display settings before it will function.
Two local user accounts exist on the system:
• Administrator – The default password is Adm n strator (case sensitive)
• User – By default there is no password required for this account.
The thin client automatically logs in as the “User” account. In order to log in as the
“Adm n strator ” you must first gain access to the Window XP Logon screen. There
are two ways to do this:
Alternative Desktop Computing
Dur ng User Logoff
While logged in as “User ” select
“Start Menu -> Log Off.”
You will receive a small window
prompt asking you to confirm.
Hold down the Sh ft key as you
press the Log Off button.
You will now be presented with
the Windows XP Logon screen.
Dur ng System Bootup
As the unit is booting the Win-
dows OS hold down the Sh ft
key. This will bypass the automatic
login and present you with the
Windows XP Logon screen.
You may now choose to login with
the Administrator or User account.
Figure A – Hold the Shift key during bootup or logoff to access the Windows XP Logon Screen
-OR-
FBWF Manager
The FBWF (File Based Write Filter) operates by providing a “shadow write” to the sys-
tem RAM. When enabled any writes that are normally written to the storage media
are instead redirected to the RAM overlay. During a reboot this overlay is discarded
so the operating system remains in its original state.

W ndows XPe
Instructions for TC5 Terminals Running Windows XPe (continued)
As its name implies FBWF is based on files. This
means you can exclude certain files and directories
from the protection of the write filter. Any files that
are in this list are ignored by FBWF and subject to
modification (or deletion) just as they normally
would in any standard Windows XP environment.
The TC5 includes a management utility for configur-
ing FBWF. Only Administrators can access this utility.
To open the FBWF Manager:
• Login is Administrator.
• Choose “Start Menu -> All Programs ->
FBWFGUI”
• This will open the FBWF Manager window.
By default FBWF is in an enabled state with basic exclusions set for the “Persistent
Registry” and “Documents and Settings” for all users. This means any changes made
under the “C:\Documents and Settings” folder such as desktop icons start menu
items and browser favorites will be written directly to the flash device immediately
and without overlay protection.
Install ng Add t onal Software
You may install third party licensed software as long as there is adequate space on
the flash media. This section describes the recommended procedure for using FBWF
to permanently install additional software applications:
• Login as Administrator and select “Start Menu -> All Programs -> FBWFGUI”
• Temporarily disable the write filter by clicking the Disable FBWF button then
press the Apply button.
• Reboot the terminal.
• Login again as Administrator and install the new software.
• After installation verify the application is working as expected.
• Launch the FBWF Manager and click the Enable FBWF button. Also make sure
to re-enable the Basic Exclusions. For default exclusions this would mean
selecting the buttons for Enabled Documents and Settings for Everyone and the
Enabled Persistent Registry buttons.
• Click the Apply button and Reboot the terminal one last time.
