Important notes
Limitations
● VMware Blast—The following limitations are applicable for Wyse 5060 Thin Clients:
○ ThinOS supports two displays with 1080p resolution. The VDI graphic performance is good.
○ ThinOS supports single display with 4K resolution. However, the VDI graphic performance is not smooth. It is
recommended that you do not use a single 4K display.
NOTE: From ThinOS 8.6 onwards, it is recommended that you use the Wyse 5070 Thin Client for 4K optimized VDI
graphic performance.
○ You cannot launch a Blast session on a 4K display. This is a known issue.
● PCoIP—The following limitations are applicable for Wyse 5060 Thin Clients:
○ Connected to VM with GPU—Dual 4K is supported. The VDI graphic performance is good on each Virtual Machine using
NVIDIA M60 GPU with 4090 MB of video memory.
○ Connection to VM without GPU
￭ ThinOS supports two displays with 1080p resolution. The VDI graphic performance is good.
￭ ThinOS supports single display with 4K resolution. However, the VDI graphic performance is not smooth. Dell does not
recommend using a single 4K display.
NOTE: From ThinOS 8.6 onwards, it is recommended that you use the Wyse 5070 Thin Client for 4K optimized VDI
graphic performance.
● JVDI—The following limitations are applicable for all JVDI supported thin clients:
○ The JVDI package uses a major portion of the disk on platforms with low disk space. If you install the JVDI package on
thin clients with low disk space, other large packages may fail to extract and install. For example, you cannot install JVDI,
Horizon, and RTME packages together on Wyse 5010 Thin Client. However, on Wyse 5010 and Wyse 5040 All-in-One
Thin Clients, you can install the ThinOS packages as follows:
￭ RTME, FR, and JVDI can be installed simultaneously.
￭ RTME, TCX, FR, and Horizon can be installed simultaneously.
This limitation is not applicable for the following platforms with more disk space:
￭ Wyse 3030LT Thin Client
￭ Wyse 3040 Thin Client
￭ Wyse 5060 Thin Client
￭ Wyse 5070 Thin Client
￭ Wyse 5470 Thin Client
￭ Wyse 5470 All-in-One Thin Client
○ You can delete the JVDI package when the VDI connection fails on the thin client. After you delete the JVDI package, the
VDI connection is recovered.
