This appendix describes the BIOS management on the ThinOS
devices with Wyse BIOS (CMOS), or Dell Standard BIOS.
To make BIOS management consistent between Wyse and Dell BIOS, INI parameter Device=Cmos is introduced for Wyse BIOS, and Device=DellCmos for Dell Standard BIOS.
For BIOS configuration, if the password is configured, to update any settings, the password is required to be supplied. For example, the INI parameter to update settings must be followed with “CurrentPassword={}”. This is mandatory for Dell BIOS, and will be implemented as mandatory for Wyse BIOS post this release.
After a File Server BIOS update to a Wyse 5010 thin client/ Wyse 5040 thin client/ Wyse 7010 thin client/Wyse 5060 thin client/Wyse 3030 LT thin client device, due to a CMOS mismatch, BIOS management may not be possible till the user manually enters and exits the BIOS configuration menu. This can be accomplished as follows:
Boot unit and press Delete during boot to enter 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 access the WLOADER on an ARM platform, press the power button for about four seconds until the power light turns green, and then press the Delete key.
