4.2.2.2 Horizontal Mounting: Open Vents Must Face Up
ClearCube zero clients are typically mounted horizontally, as shown below. TERA1-based zero
clients have diamond-shaped vents on both sides, and TERA2-based zero clients have diamond-
shaped vents on the top. Open vents reveal the interior of the zero client (the open vent is located
on the top of most zero clients. The closed vent on the bottom of TERA1-based zero clients is
sealed with a grey, metal plate. If you mount your zero client horizontally, or flat on a desk top or
other surface, the open vents should face up to allow proper heat dissipation, as shown below.

Cabling
The following sections show how to set up cabling for different PCoIP device deployments.
NOTE: See 4.4 “ Mandatory Network-Related Settings ” on page 39 for information about
configuring network switch transmission speed and mode for your PCoIP deployment.
4.3.1 Chassis Cabling Overview
The picture below shows the network cabling in a typical zero client deployment between blades
and an A-series or R-series chassis. In the picture below, PCoIP host card and zero client
communication is optimized by isolating PCoIP traffic on a dedicated network (using physical or
virtual LANs). Cables going to zero clients are connected directly to a network switch and then to
a ClearCube A3100 chassis.
