The Compaq Evo Thin Clients T20 and T30are Windows-based
terminals that connect over a network to a server where all
processing and storage occurs. Because of the nature of the
products, troubleshooting is significantly simpler than on a
standard PC.
The Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI) is English on all
Thin Clients. If you are using a foreign language keyboard, an
ICA or RDP connection will perform the localization between a
server-based application and the device, but all interaction with
the unit itself is in English.
Optional Firmware
PXE (Pre-boot Execution Environment) is supported on both the
Compaq Evo T20 and T30 NTe w/PXE and XPe products.
PXE allows a client to boot from a server on a network prior to
booting the embedded Operating System (OS) or the OS from the
local hard drive. A PXE-enabled client connects its Network
Information Center (NIC) to the Local Area Network (LAN) via a
jumper which keeps the workstation connected to the network
even when the power is off.
Because a network administrator does not have to physically visit
a specific client and manually boot it, the operating system and
other software can be loaded onto the device from a server over
the network.
PXE is a mandatory element of Intel's Wired for Management
(WfM) specification and must be supported by the client's BIOS
and its NIC.
