4 PCoIP Deployment Scenarios
4.1 PCoIP Host Cards and Zero Clients
The following table lists the PCoIP host cards and zero clients you can deploy in your PCoIP
network. It also lists the set of display resolutions each device supports.
Note: The processor name refers to the chipset used in the PCoIP device. For example,
TERA2140 is the processor used in the second-generation TERA2140 zero client, and
TERA2240 is the processor used in the second-generation TERA2240 PCIe host card (for
tower PC or rack mount workstations) and TERA2240 PCI Mezzanine host card (for blade
workstations). For full details about Teradici PCoIP processors, see the Teradici website at
http://www.teradici.com.
You can mix and match any host card with any zero client. However, when you connect a
zero client to a host card, the maximum supported resolutions for any displays attached to
the client will equal the most common denominator between the two devices. For example,
if you connect a TERA2140 zero client to a TERA2240 host card, you can attach up to four
1920x1200 displays or two 2560x1600 displays. However, if you connect a TERA2321 zero
client to the same host card, the options become up to two 1920x1200 displays or one
2560x1600 display.

*Tera2 zero clients support 2560x1600 resolution on attached displays using either DVI or
DisplayPort interfaces. For instructions on how to connect cables to Tera2 zero clients with DVI
and/or DisplayPort ports to support this resolution, see DVI and DisplayPort Interfaces.
