The characteristics of linux diskless workstations currently on the market and cost of ownership for each of the workstation in a practical scenario familiar

read the code the blink codes tell the story,
red lights where,
1: power button LED green? (can be red) and beeps
2: Monitor LED lamps?
3: caps lock on keyboard blink.
4: is the COIN cell dead? 2.9v to 3.3vdc good, lower volts is bad , as most are this old !!!

the service manual covers all this! ever heard of HP and there REAL pages,,???
why not read that?
(do the fans all spin, if not PSU is dead.
PSU fan is first. does it.
CPU fan , huge fan on heatsink must spin.
the stock GPU card has no fan (ASUSc card but mine does. at ATI card.as fan right on the express 16 card.
does the DVD drive eject work.
if any of the above fail the PSU is bad.
but we strip off all loads from the MOBO
to prove its not some part shorted. first.

the front LED on this PC has flash codes
mine flashes in sleep mode, or w10 power off.
w10 never turns power fully off, it uses hibernate to turn off, (unless i cure that, ask)
the factory manual starting on page 111 cover this.
fully.

i own this beast so .....
code 2 red is overheated.clean the PC and all fans.
code 3 red, processor errors CPU.
code 4 PSU dead or shorts on load buses of same.
we call them power rails, we bench test the PSU
or read page 111 , how.
code 5 = GPU RAM failure, this PC has on board, GPU chip only X16 slot card, replace it. or the DDR2 rams are bad.
code 6 = GPU card bad.
code 7= BIOS ROM, put in a new coin cell first.!!!
Code 8= BIOS, always do nee COIN cell first.
code 9 = cant boot hdd, hdd bad or software gone, or corrputed, PC can now boot to a linux live CD or USB stick proving now PC is ok,
only hdd and OS suspected now. code 9
coin.

To solve this problem, configure the service port of the switch connected to the diskless workstation as an edge port. For details, see the user guide of the web network management system. Huawei Networking Products News and FAQ

Wow! I'd suggest re-install.

I will be happy to assist you with that.
I am providing you with the link please visit the link and you can get all the information on Linux disk less workstation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_client

Please rate me if this solution works for you

Thanks......Have a great time.

System restore on XP is restoring individual PC stations but because you have probably shared folders on linux server you have same problem on server. Solution:

• Remove network cable from linux server
• Install some antivirus solution for linux server (in case you don't have one) and scan and clean server from viruses.
• Also after you remove network cables from workstations scan and remove viruses from XP stations
• When you finish those steps atach network cables and probably you will not have that problem

Reason for that is becausesome viruses and trojans are spreading through shared folders

I have a series of questions and I am seeking assistance on them pleasewill someone kindly help me out it is for my project.

1) What are the obstacles and incompatibilities that may arise in a mulitivendor networking environment?

2) Investigate precisely the characteristics of various Network Computers currently on the market?

3) Briefly describe a Network Computer or Thin Client?

4) A list of the benefits and possible drawbacks associated with the adoption of Network Computers?

5) Any case studies which detail the experiences of other organisations who have implemented Network Computers or Thin Clients.

6) A brief section on the business benefits of using Network Computers, in particular focussing on the cost of ownership issues?

7)Identifythe network support infrastructure required to utilise NetworkComputers.Compare the two different solutions offered by two differentvenders and document this in a report?

I Know it seems like alot to ask but it will help me plenty

P.S If you know anyone also you can recommend to me that will be appreciated.


Thank You

Hi. If you're talking about having an external hard drive somewhere on your network and using that as your boot device in the same fashion as a USB-attached hard drive, then no. However, you can boot a computer using something called BootP, which is short for Bootstrap Protocol. Historically this was used by diskless workstations to obtain an IP address as well as the location of the boot image that the computer would use to boot up. It used to be used in only the *nix world (Unix, Linux, etc.). However, there is also some use in the MS Windows environments, specifically with  diskless media center computers running a Windows operating system.....Hope this helps!
