WYSE Terminal Cx0 Teardown
23WYSE Cx0 Teardown
Overview
The Wyse CX0 is very similar in appearance to the Sx0 that it replaces. It is a small and (physically) lightweight thin client. In contrast to the Sx0 it has two PS/2 ports and no serial port - a reversal in policy here! There are two USB ports at the front and two USB ports on the rear. The video connector is a DVI socket. With a suitable splitter the Cx0 will support two independent monitors.
A Quick-Start guide I found mentions the following models: C00LE, C10LE, C30LE, C50LE, C90LE, C90LE7, C90LEW, but a C-Class data sheet mentions only five:
Wyse C00LE Zero client with no local operating system. Used with Wyse WSM provisioning software for a PC experience on a thin desktop.
Wyse C10LE Featuring the blisteringly fast Wyse ThinOS designed for high security environments.
Wyse C30LE Windows CE 6 - Microsoft's componentized real-time operating system for small footprint devices.
Wyse C90LE Windows XP Embedded - runs thousands of existing Windows applications and drivers.
Wyse C90LEW Take advantage of the power of Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard.
I have several examples of the Cx0:
A few C90LEWs manufactured in March 2010 fitted with wireless cards.
A C90LEW manufactured in November 2011.
A C10LE manufactured in February 2013.
