Detailed explanation-1: -A diskless node (or diskless workstation) is a workstation or personal computer without disk drives, which employs network booting to load its operating system from a server. (A computer may also be said to act as a diskless node, if its disks are unused and network booting is used.)
Detailed explanation-2: -PCs contain a local hard drive with applications and data files. Thin clients, by contrast, contain no local hard drive. Rather, these devices access applications from a server.
