RX420(RDP) FAQs
The RX420(RDP) thin client is built on the Raspberry Pi 4 platform, fully optimized for RDP achieving compelling performance and value. Designed and optimized specifically for Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), Microsoft RDS, VERDE VDI, and vSpace Pro Enterprise, the RX420(RDP) is cloud-ready and provides a rich PC-like experience.
RX420(RDP) features native dual display, full-screen, full-motion HD multimedia playback with Microsoft RemoteFX support, built-in dual-band 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi connectivity and transparent USB redirection for unparalleled peripheral support.
RX420(RDP) configuration and firmware updates can be remotely managed by the IT admin. The RX420(RDP) provides a simple to deploy, centrally managed, high performance virtual desktop, perfect for use in SMB and SME organizations with Microsoft Windows Server or VDI infrastructure.
The only difference between these devices is RAM. RX420 has 2GB of RAM and is sufficient for normal operation. RX440 has 4GB of RAM, and is recommended for use cases that rely heavily on the local Chromium browser with multiple open tabs.
For virtualization, 2GB of RAM is plenty and is the standard amount in all of the RX-420 devices. In certain circumstances, more RAM can be advantageous, specifically if your use case requires heavy use of the local Chromium browser. An example of this would be keeping many browser tabs open at once, playing multimedia content, or accessing the web version of Microsoft Teams for video calls. For these cases we have the RX-440 devices. These devices are identical to RX-420 except for the inclusion of 4GB of RAM. These devices are available for direct order only. For more information, please contact your NComputing representative.

The warranty for the RX420(RDP) is one year from the time of registration in the NComputing Management Portal. An optional extended hardware warranty is available and can be purchased through an NComputing reseller or via the NComputing Management Portal with a credit card or PayPal.
The extended warranty is only eligible for RX420(RDP) devices that are already under warranty and must be applied to a specific device. Once the extended warranty has been allocated to a device, it cannot be changed/removed.
Admins can log in to the NComputing Management Portal --> My Devices and click the ‘Serial No.’ of the device for the details. Automated email reminders will be sent approximately 30 days prior to the current device warranty expiration date.
Each RX420(RDP) device comes with a 1-year subscription to AMP for RX420(RDP). This allows the device to receive firmware updates applied locally or pushed from NComputing PMC Endpoint Management Software. When AMP for RX420(RDP) expires the device can no longer receive firmware updates. Subscription to AMP for RX420(RDP) must be purchased and applied to the device in order to once again be able to push firmware updates from PMC.
