9 Introduction 1 1. Introduction This manual is for the Amulet Hotkey CoreStation and DXM Series Blades. These Amulet Hotkey solutions are based on the Dell PowerEdge Blade range. 1.1 What is PCoIP? The PCoIP (PC-over-IP) protocol compresses, encrypts and encodes the entire computing experience on a host PC. In a PCoIP system, a PCoIP host transmits the computing experience from a host PC (pixels only) across a standard IP network to a remote zero client. Actual data never leaves the host PC and all pixel transfers are encrypted with advanced security algorithms. PCoIP supports high resolution, full frame rate 3D graphics and HD media, multiple large displays, full USB peripheral connectivity, and high definition audio, all connected over the corporate LAN or WAN. PCoIP technology allows all desktops in your enterprise to be centrally located and managed in a data centre, while providing remote users with full desktop performance. This may be in a geographically remote location if necessary. 1.2 About PCoIP hosts A PCoIP host is something that converts a remote blade workstation (or PC) into a pixel broadcast centre. The host s Tera-series processor uses advanced algorithms to encode a user s full desktop environment, allowing the host to deliver high-end images to a zero client in any location. In a PCoIP system, the PCoIP host is installed inside or near to the remote blade or PC. The host takes digital video, audio and USB data generated by the PC and compresses and encrypts this data. It then transmits this data in real time over an IP network to the user s PCoIP zero client. 1.3 DXM Series Blades models The DXM Series Blades are Dell PowerEdge Blades housed in a chassis that has its own power supply and cooling system. Typically up to 16 blades can be installed in the M1000e chassis. The CoreStation WFC640 uses the new Dell FX2s chassis. The following solutions are available: Solutions with 14G PowerEdge Blades CoreStation WM640 (M640 PowerEdge Blade) CoreStation WFC640 (FC640 PowerEdge Blade) Solutions with 13G PowerEdge Blades DXM Solutions with 12G PowerEdge Blades DXM420 DXM520 DXM Typical configuration The CoreStation and DXM Series Blades typically accomodate: one single slot MXM; two single slot MXMs, or; one dual-slot MXM. This can give either up to four heads of video for one remote desktop, or up to eight heads of video for a single remote desktop. The remote desktops can also support HD resolution displays, up to two displays per host card. This manual will show you how to complete a basic manual configuration for one or two host cards in a single blade. Page 9

10 Introduction Page 10

11 Preparation 2 2. Overview There are many different blade solutions available, but the principle for setting up a remote desktop for each solution is essentially the same: a). Install one or two Amulet Hotkey MXM host cards with onboard GPUs in a blade solution. See the relevant Quick Start Guides for this. b). Take a note of the MAC addresses on the cards. c). Install the blade in an appropriate Dell chassis (M1000e or FX2s). d). Make an ethernet connection to the card(s). e). Set up the zero client(s). f). Connect to the blade from the zero client(s). Note: This manual also refers to the MXM host card as host card. 2.1 Initial preparations Before you start the configuration in the next chapter, make sure of the following. 1. If configuring a single MXM host card, make sure that the MXM is in the correct fabric slot in the blade to match the fabric that is connected to the M1000e chassis. 2. Make sure you have a note of the MAC address for the host card. This is usually recorded during the installion process. If you do not have this, you will need to open up the blade to read the label on the host card. 3. Check what the latest firmware is for the zero clients and blade host firmware and download from the Amulet Hotkey Resources website. See 3.6 and Check what the latest drivers are for the blade and for the GPU(s) on the host card(s) and download from the Amulet Hotkey Resources website. See 3.8 and Change the host card default IP address! Caution: Change the default IP address as soon as possible - unless the host card will be on a completely isolated network (for example with a pass-through one-to-one system) If your network uses DHCP, the host card obtains its IP address from the DHCP server. If no DHCP server is available, the host card times out after three minutes and adopts its default IP address of All host cards will revert to the same default IP address, this can cause conflicts as the network grows. Use the Administrative Web Interface (AWI) to assign a different static IP address from the default. 1. From the Configuration menu select the Network option. 2. Make sure the Enable DHCP option is unchecked. 3. Enter the new fall-back default IP address into the IP Address fields. 4. Make sure the Enable DHCP option is checked. Page 11

25 Remote desktop configuration 5.6 Record host card details before installation Before installing blades in a chassis, make a list of which host cards belong to which blades. Do this either: by recording host card and blade details manually, or; obtain this information from Technical Support. Having this information simplifies installation, making it easier to cross check blades with host cards, especially in Octal blades. 5.7 Use DHCP to simplify installation Is the PCoIP network using statically assigned IP addresses or DHCP? a). For a static network, host cards fall back to their X address. There a couple of ways to reassign a relevant IP to the cards for production use, such as using a private DHCP server connected to the chassis switching, or individually changing the IP address, card by card, using pass-through; b). For a DHCP network, once the blades have been powered on, the host cards will attempt to obtain an IP address. This method is much easier and enables an administrator who can view the DHCP server to view the IP addresses assigned, MAC addresses and other network information. 5.8 Additional administrative tasks Once the IP addresses have been assigned to the host cards the next steps could be: a). If there is a PCoIP Management Console present, run discovery and ensure all the cards are present; b). If there is a Connection Broker present, make sure the cards are listed in the Broker. Note: Octal blade host cards require pairing in the Broker to function together. Page 25
