This appendix describes the BIOS management on the ThinOS
devices with Wyse BIOS (CMOS), or Dell Standard BIOS.
To make the BIOS management consistent between Wyse BIOS and Dell BIOS, an INI parameter Device=Cmos is introduced for Wyse BIOS, and Device=DellCmos for Dell Standard BIOS.
If the password is configured for the BIOS configuration, then you must enter an appropriate password to update any settings. For example, the INI parameter to update settings must be followed with “CurrentPassword={}”. This is mandatory for Dell BIOS.
After you update BIOS on Wyse 5010 thin client, Wyse 5040 thin client, Wyse 7010 thin client, Wyse 5060 thin client, and Wyse 3030 LT thin client by using file server, the BIOS management may not be possible until you manually enter and exit the BIOS configuration menu. This is due to a CMOS mismatch. To resolve this issue:
Boot unit and press Delete during boot to enter the BIOS menu.
Enter the BIOS password.
Press F10 to save BIOS configurations and resolve the CMOS mismatch.
BIOS functionality matrix
Table 1. BIOS functionality matrixThe following table lists the BIOS functionality matrix:
After starting your thin client, you will see a Dell logo for a short time. During this period, press and hold the Delete key or F2 key based on the thin client model.
Delete key—Press and hold the Delete key to enter the BIOS settings on the ThinOS clients with Wyse BIOS.
F2 key—Press and hold the F2 key to enter the BIOS settings on the ThinOS clients with Dell Standard BIOS.
When prompted, type the password Fireport to view the BIOS settings screen. For example, you can use the F7 key to use Optimized Defaults—load optimal default values for all the items in the BIOS setup utility.
NOTE:These BIOS settings are not applicable to Wyse 3010 thin client and Wyse 3020 thin client, as there is no BIOS on ARM platform. To accessWLOADER on an ARM platform, press the power button for four seconds until the power light turns green, and then press the Delete key.
