Dell ThinOS 2402 Administrator’s Guide

Edit BIOS settings

Prerequisites

  • If you are using Wyse Management Suite, ensure that you have registered the thin client and synchronize the BIOS admin password. For more information about using the Sync BIOS Admin Password option, see the latest Dell Wyse Management Suite Administrator's Guide at www.dell.com/support.
    NOTE:If you have not synced the BIOS password in the Wyse Management Suite server, you can enter the current BIOS password in the Current BIOS Admin Password field to publish the BIOS settings. If you have synced the BIOS password in the Wyse Management Suite server, this field is ignored. Wyse Management Suite server uses the synced BIOS password to publish BIOS settings.
  • If you are using the Admin Policy Tool, ensure that you enter the current BIOS admin password in the Advanced > BIOS section.

Steps

  1. Open the Admin Policy Tool on the thin client or go to the ThinOS 9.x policy settings on Wyse Management Suite.
  2. In the Configuration Control | ThinOS window, click the Advanced tab.
  3. Expand BIOS and select your preferred platform.
  4. In the System Configuration section, modify the USB ports and audio settings.
  5. In the Security section, modify the administrator-related configurations.
  6. In the Secure Boot section, enable the secure boot option. If enabled, you cannot disable it using Admin Policy Tool or Wyse Management Suite. Secure Boot can be disabled only in the BIOS setup window.
  7. In the Power Management section, modify the power-saving options.
  8. In the POST Behavior section, modify the post behavior options.
  9. Click Save & Publish
    NOTE:If the thin client does not have a BIOS admin password, you can set the password using Admin Policy Tool or Wyse Management Suite. In this scenario, the client reboots first to apply the BIOS admin password and other BIOS settings take effect after the second reboot.
    NOTE:Changing BIOS password using Select Group requires a reboot to take effect.
    NOTE:If you enable Set Admin Password, set new BIOS password and then reboot, the new BIOS password is synced to WMS server automatically. If you first enable Set Admin Password, set the new BIOS password, and then disable Set Admin Password, the BIOS password is cleared to empty. On the thin client, the Current BIOS Admin Password option is always blank, and Set Admin Password option is always disabled. These options do not have any impact on the functionality.
