Fatting Up a Thin Client

I had acess to some Thin clients so I decide to fatting up one for my personal use.

Step 1: First I Open It Up.

Removed the 2 rear screws from the HP T5000 and pulled all the clip panels off. The cage is a metal shield just like your destops.

Step 2: Wireless

Right on top under the cage was the wireless Cisco card this works really well. it plugs into a right angel riser PCI card.

Step 3: 44 Pin Header

Ths is wear the 64 mb Win XP embeded was pluged in. I fould an old laptop and pulled the HDD + the cable. I then pluged it in.

Step 4: Connected

This is with the riser card and wireless installed with the hard drive.

Step 5: Final Assembly

Fold hard drive over cable to ensure hard drive doesn't short out against riser assembly or wireless card.

Step 6: Loaded XP

Loaded XP via USB CD ROM.

Step 7: XP Loaded

The system did not require any additional drivers after SP3.
