Logging in to the Latitude 3480 mobile thin client
Whatever we view during the turn on or during the reboot of thin client device depends on the congurations done by the administrator.
After creating user account, an administrator can congure a user account where a user can either automatically log in or may require user
credentials to log in.
NOTE:
• Ensure that you disable the Unied Write Filter (UWF) before changing a password on the thin client and enable the UWF after
changing a password on the thin client.
• To change the password, hold CTRL+ALT+DEL key combination, and then click Change a password. However, this feature is not
applicable for the User accounts.

Using Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP)
A thin client is congured to obtain its IP address and network congurations from a DHCP server. The DHCP server provides the IP
address or DNS name of the FTP server and the FTP root-path location of the software in Microsoft.msi. This can be used to access
the FTP server by using the DHCP upgrade process.
It is recommended that you congure and upgrade thin clients by using DHCP, as it saves time and eort to complete the processes locally
on multiple thin clients. If a DHCP server is not available, xed IP addresses can be assigned, which must be entered locally for each thin
client.
A DHCP server provides the IP address of the WDM server. For more information on remote administration, see WDM software for remote
administration
Using Domain Name System (DNS)
Thin client devices accept valid DNS names registered on a DNS server that is available to the enterprise intranet. The thin client device
sends a query to the DNS server on the network to resolve hostnames into IP addresses. DNS allows hosts to be accessed by using the
registered DNS names.
The Windows DNS server in Windows 2000 and later versions includes Dynamic DNS (DDNS), and each server registers dynamically with
the Windows DNS server. For information on DHCP entry of DNS domain and server location, see Using Dynamic Host Conguration
Protocol (DHCP).

Conguring Citrix Receiver session services
Citrix Receiver is a server based on computing technology that separates the logic of an application from its user interface. The Citrix
Receiver client software installed on the thin client device allows you to interact with the application GUI, while all the application processes
are executed on the server.
Citrix Receiver session services can be made available on the network by using Windows 2008/2012 Server with Terminal Services and one
of the following installed:

• XenDesktop 7.8
• XenDesktop 7.9
• XenDesktop 7.11
To install the software, refer to the documentation accompanying the software. Make sessions and applications available to the thin client
devices that share the server environment.
NOTE:
If you use a Windows 2003/2008 Server or Citrix XenApp 5.0 with Windows Server 2008, a Terminal Services Client Access License
(TSCAL) server must also be accessible on the network. The server grants a temporary license, which expires after 120 days. After the
temporary license expires, you must purchase and install the TSCALs on the server.
To congure a Citrix Receiver session:
1 Log in as an administrator.
2 Access the Citrix Server by using one of the following options:
• From the Start Menu, click Citrix Receiver.

Troubleshooting
Enhanced Pre-Boot System Assessment (ePSA)
diagnostics
The ePSA diagnostics (also known as system diagnostics) performs a complete check of your hardware. The ePSA is embedded with the
BIOS and is launched by the BIOS internally. The ePSA diagnostics provides a set of options for particular devices or device groups,
enabling you to:
• Run tests automatically or in an interactive mode
• Repeat tests
• Display or save test results
• Run thorough tests to introduce additional test options to provide extra information about the failed device(s)
• View status messages that inform you if tests are completed successfully
• View error messages that inform you of problems encountered during testing
CAUTION: Use the system diagnostics that comes with your software to test only your computer. Using this program with other
computers may cause invalid results or error messages.
NOTE: Some tests for specic devices require user interaction. Always ensure that you are present at the computer terminal
when the diagnostic tests are performed.
Running the ePSA diagnostics
1 Power-on the computer.
2 When the computer boots, press the F12 key.
3 On the boot menu screen, select the Diagnostics option.
The Enhanced Pre-boot System Assessment window is displayed.
4 Click the arrow key at the bottom left corner.
Diagnostics front page is displayed.
5 Press the arrow in the lower-right corner to go to the page listing.
The items detected are listed.
6 To run a diagnostic test on a specic device, press Esc and click Yes to stop the diagnostic test.
7 Select the device from the left pane and click Run Tests.
If there are any issues or error codes displayed, note the error code and validation number and contact Dell.
Testing memory using ePSA
1 Turn on or restart your system.
2 Perform the following action after the Dell logo is displayed:
• On the keyboard — Press F12.
The PreBoot System Assessment (PSA) starts on your system.
