The required type of cable for the Ethernet model for 10MB line speed operation is
category 3 or higher Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP). The required type of cable for
100MB line speed is category 5 UTP.
Refer to “Appendix F. Connector pin information” on page 39 for communication
cable specifications.
Monitor specifications
A basic video graphics adapter (VGA)-class monitor that meets the Video
Electronics Standards Association (VESA) standards of refresh rate and resolution
can function with the NetVista thin client. The NetVista thin client can support
VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) and VESA Display Data
Channel (DDC2B).
Refer to “Appendix E. Monitor specifications” on page 37 for a list of resolutions
and refresh rates that the NetVista thin client can support. Your monitor may not
support all resolutions and refresh rates.
Power consumption
The normal power consumption for a NetVista thin client, while running
applications, is approximately 14 watts. You may see power consumption of up to
18 watts in some applications or configurations. For more information, contact an
IBM account representative.
Display monitor power reduction occurs when you use the NetVista thin client
with a VESA DPMS Standard monitor.
Upgrading hardware features
You can perform the following hardware procedures:
v
Connect USB devices
If you plan to use peripheral USB devices with your NetVista thin client, refer to
the documentation for your peripheral USB devices for information.
v
Upgrade your memory
The NetVista thin client has one random access memory (RAM) slot that accepts
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) Dual Inline Memory
Modules (DIMMs). The NetVista thin client includes 32 MB of permanent RAM
on the system board, and supports memory expansions of up to 288 MB by
using 32, 64, 128, or 256 MB DIMMs.
“Appendix B. Upgrading memory” on page 31 provides information on how to
upgrade your memory. Refer to “Replacing additional parts” on page 27 for
detailed memory specifications and orderable NetVista thin client parts.
v
Install a CompactFlash card
“Appendix C. CompactFlash card” on page 33 provides procedures for
CompactFlash card.
Memory upgrade options
The NetVista thin client has one random access memory (RAM) slot that accepts
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) Dual Inline Memory
Modules, hereafter referred to as DIMMs. The N2200 thin client supports memory
expansions of 32, 64, 128, and 256 Megabyte (MB) DIMMs.
