X550 Desktop Virtualization Kit with vSpace User Guide
The X550 desktop virtualization kit includes a license for NComputing vSpace software, one X550 PCI card, and five XD2 access devices. NComputing vSpace desktop virtualization software divides your host PC’s resources into independent virtual workspaces that give each user their own full PC experience. The X550 PCI card connects your PC to each of the five XD2 access devices through a standard Category 5e or shielded Category 6 cable (sold separately). Each XD2 connects to each user’s keyboard, monitor, mouse and speakers. All these components work together to efficiently harness the excess computing capacity of your PC so multiple users can share it at the same time.
Minimum System Requirements Host PC
The host PC operating system can be Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 (Standard or Enterprise Edition, 32-bit) or Ubuntu Linux. Please visit the support section of the NComputing website for the latest operating system support information.
For one X550 kit, a host PC should have at least the following:
• A 2.4 GHz processor or any dual-core processor
• 1 GB RAM
• One free full-height PCI slot
For two X550 PCI cards, a host PC should have at least the following:
• A 3.5 GHz processor or an equivalent dual-core processor
• 2 or 3 GB RAM
• Two free full-height PCI slots
Access Devices
For each XD2 access device you will need:
• PS/2 keyboard
• PS/2 mouse
• Monitor (supporting 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×1024 or 1440×900 resolution)
• Optional: speakers or headphones
• Optional: USB devices and USB cables (connect directly to host PC and can be assigned to each station via the vSpace software)
Connection Cables
For each XD2 device you will need a Category 5e cable for lengths up to 5 meters or a shielded twisted pair (STP) or foil-screened twisted pair (FTP) Category 6 cable for lengths between 5 and 10 meters. All four wire pairs in the cable MUST be terminated correctly according to the Category 5e and Category 6 standards. Note that the signals being transferred across the cable are NOT Ethernet, so do not connect the PCI card or the XD2 devices to any Ethernet network equipment. Also, do NOT use Ethernet cross-over cables for the connection (cross-over cables swap wire pairs at each end)
