Preparing for installation

Prior to installing Kaspersky Thin Client, do the following:

1. Prepare a bootable USB drive containing the Linux Ubuntu operating system (recommended version: Ubuntu 20.04).
2. Copy the Kaspersky Thin Client installation files received in the distribution kit to a separate partition on the bootable USB drive or to a separate USB drive:
   • KTC_uboot_<version number>.tar.gz—boot package.
   • Kaspersky_Thin_Client_<version number>.tar.gz—installation image.
   • hw_install.sh—Kaspersky Thin Client installation script.

To ensure security prior to installation of Kaspersky Thin Client, we recommend updating the BIOS on the thin client to the latest version, setting a password for BIOS configuration changes, and configuring the option to boot only from a local SSD device. These recommended measures will help prevent potential security risks, such as operating system substitution, replacement or deletion of remote server connection certificates, and unauthorized access to operating system settings.
