Dell ThinOS 2308, 2306, and 2303 Migration Guide

Introduction

This guide contains instructions to migrate from Ubuntu and ThinOS 9.1.3129 or later versions to ThinOS 2308, 2306, or 2303 using Wyse Management Suite 4.0 or later versions. This guide also contains instructions on how to convert Windows 10 IoT or ThinLinux devices to ThinOS 2306.

The overall migration process includes the following tasks:

1. Register the thin client to the Wyse Management Suite server using the following method:
   • Automate the Wyse Management Suite server and Group Registration Token discovery using the DHCP or DNS records.
2. Download the ThinOS firmware from the www.dell.com/support site—see Download the ThinOS firmware, BIOS, and application packages.
3. Configure the ThinOS 9.x-based device using Wyse Management Suite version 3.7 or later versions—see Configuring a ThinOS 9.x client using Wyse Management Suite.

If you convert a device from another operating system to ThinOS 2303 or later versions, or install the ThinOS 2303 or later version recovery image, ThinOS changes BIOS settings when booting for the first time:

• BIOS password: Set to Fireport
• SATA/NVMe Operation: Set to AHCI/NVMe
• Integrated NIC: Set to Enabled (set to disable PXE boot support)
• Wake-on-LAN: Set to LAN only
  NOTE:For OptiPlex 3000 Thin Client with SFP module, the option is set to LAN or SFP NIC.
• Enable Secure Boot: Set to ON
• Enable USB Boot Support: Set to OFF
• Enable USB Wake Support: Set to ON
• Deep Sleep Control: Set to Disabled
