This thin client comes from Cisco but in reality is a rebadged Wyse 7000 series thin client aka "The Z series" However the difference is more than having 'cisco' moulded into the plastic. The Wyse data sheets all mention "AMD Radeon HD 6320" for the graphics in their version, but the graphics in this unit, according to the Cisco datasheet and the output from lspci, is a Radeon 6310.
I was slightly confused by this as an AMD G series APU datasheet clearly shows the graphics in a T56N being a Radeon 6320 with the single core T52R being the one that has the integrated Radeon 6310 graphics. However in September 2017 John Haywood emailed me with the explanation for this anomaly. Originally (Jan 2011) the G-T56N (GT) was released. This included the Radeon HD 6310 graphics core and was clocked at 1.6GHz. In May 2011 the G-56N (GV) was released. This included a Radeon HD 6320 core and was clocked at 1.65GHz. So, in my very small sample, the CISCO unit has the earlier version of the CPU whilst the Wyse units have the later version.

The unit requires a 19V supply. The label on the bottom is marked "19V 3.42A". The plug on the power supply is a conventional 5.5mm x 2.5mm coax plug so be careful not to plug in into any 12V supply thin clients!
Flash: The Flash memory (bottom middle in the photograph) is easily replaceable. It's a DOM plugged
into a standard SATA connector (combined data and power). There is also an adjacent SATA data socket.
(More detail in the photo below).
RAM: Unusually The RAM is a standard DDR3 240-pin DIMM (I'm so used to seeing SODIMMs). The one fitted is manufactured by Apacer and is a 2GB part labelled PC3-10600 CL9. There are two DIMM sockets on the motherboard. The Cisco datasheet doesn't mention anything beyond the standard 2GB of RAM so we're left to guess what the maximum might be. The Wyse Z series data sheet does say "..expandable up to 8GB of RAM".
Mini PCIe: Between the SATA DOM and the DIMM socket there is a MiniPCI Express socket.
USB: There are four USB 2.0 ports and two USB3.0 ports. The linux lsusb command
indicates that there are a several more which would be for internal expansion. One obvious connection
point is the yellow connector (CN13) near the battery. Having connected a standard
motherboard-to-two-USB port cable to it I found I had two more USB ports.
Misc: There are various other connectors on the board. I assume the two connectors (CN5 & CN6) near the DVI connector are the factory fit legacy serial/parallel/keyboard/mouse connections. Either CN09 or CN11 will provide power for a second SATA drive. For the others, your guess is as good as mine.
