Product Features Standard Features Thank you for purchasing an HP thin client. We hope you have years of use from our st5742 or st5747 streaming thin clients. Our goal is to provide you with award-winning clients that are easy to deploy and manage with the power and reliability you expect.
Thin Client Management Solutions Since this Streaming Thin Client is flashless, it is specifically for use with streaming operating system applications, such as HP Image Manager, HP TeachNow, and Citrix Provisioning Server. A local operating system cannot be installed on this device, so it cannot execute Linux or Windows Embedded Standard.
