Learning about the hardware

This section provides detailed hardware information about the N2800e Thin Client Express — Hardware Type 8364 (Model Cxx), hereafter referred to as N2800e Thin Client Express.

Standard hardware

The standard N2800e Thin Client Express hardware includes the following:

v64 MB of SDRAM DIMM random access memory (RAM) (see “Appendix A. Replacing hardware parts” on page 41).

v4 MB SGRAM video memory

vIntegrated Ethernet communication

v16-bit internal and external sound

vOne 32 MB CompactFlash card with preloaded software

v2 USB ports for a keyboard and other USB devices

v2 PCI adapter slots for PCI devices

vTwo serial ports for serial devices

Note: The Netscape browser requires 64 MB of RAM. See “Appendix B. Hardware maintenance procedures” on page 45 for information about adding more memory to a workstation. See “Appendix A. Replacing hardware parts” on page 41 for information about ordering replacement memory.

Hardware connectors

Your N2800e Thin Client Express hardware includes standard connectors, standard pin, signal, and signal direction configurations. See “Appendix G. Connector pin information” on page 59 for details.
