the downloaded .ISO file.

• If using Linux & K3B, simply go to Burn CD. Select the ISO

image and click ”Start”.

• Use good quality CD-ROM (avoid CD-RW) media which is

known to work with your CD-ROM drive.

• Burn the CD as a finalised single session using track-at-once

(TAO).

• Enable Buffer-Underrun Protection.

• Ensure that the downloaded ISO file is not in use (for

example by anti-virus software).

• Set the burning speed to match the recommended speed

specified by the CD-ROM media and gradually lower the

speed if problems are encountered reading the CD-ROM.

• Ensure that the system has enough free resources to

complete the burning process.

• If problems persist try to boot from the CD-ROM drive used

to burn the ISO.

Step 5: Configure the thin client to boot from CD-ROM

After you have burned the CD-ROM, insert the CD-ROM into the

CD-ROM drive of the thin client / computer. Now ensure that the

thin client will attempt to boot from the CD-ROM and not from

another storage device. Go into the computers BIOS and check

that the boot sequence starts with the CD-ROM drive.

Installing a new version of 2X ThinClientOS

2X releases new updates to the 2X ThinClientOS on a regular

basis. These updates will incorporate improvements to hardware

detection, updates to terminal server clients, and more.

Thin clients that boot from the hard disk, USB disk, via PXE, or via

Etherboot, will automatically retrieve and use the latest 2X

ThinClientOS version installed via the Management Console.

To install the latest 2X ThinClientOS:

1. Download the latest 2XThinClientOS_<version number>.zip

from http://www.2x.com/downloads

2. If your thin clients boot via PXE or Etherboot, extract the

contents of the PXE folder in the ZIP file to the TFTP directory

on the 3rd party TFTP server. This is not necessary if you are

using the TFTP server bundled with 2X ThinClientServer. The

next time the thin client boots, it will use the latest 2X

ThinClientOS.
