Setting the general system preference

1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click System Preferences.
   The System Preference dialog box is displayed.
2. Click the General tab, and use the following guidelines:
   1. Battery or Plugged in—This step is only applicable for Wyse 5470 and Wyse 5470 All-in-One thin clients. Select the Battery option if the device runs on battery. Select the Plugged in option if the device is connected to an external power source.
      NOTE: On the Wyse 5470 All-in-One Thin Client, only the Plugged in option is available.
   2. Screen Saver—Allows you to select the type of screensaver you want. The default is to Turn Off Screen.
      Other available screensavers are Flying Bubbles, Moving Image, Showing Pictures, and Playing Video.
   3. Timer—Select the idle time after which the screensaver is to be activated; either disable, 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes (default), 15 minutes, or 30 minutes.
      When the thin client is left idle for the specified idle time, the screensaver is initiated.
   4. After Turn Off Screen—Specify whether the thin client must enter the sleep mode or power off after the screen is turned off by the screen saver. This option is available only on Wyse 5040 AIO clients.
   5. Timer—Select the idle time after which you need the thin client to enter sleep mode. This option is available only on Wyse 5040 AIO clients.
   6. Locale—Select a language to be activated for the user login-experience; either French, German, Korean, or English.
      NOTE: Locale changes the language for the user login-experience screens only displayed during boot-up and login and not the configuration or administrator screens.

      Only the following messages are applicable for French locales:

      • Username/Password/Domain
      • System Information
      • Shut down the system, restart the system, reset the system setting to factory default
      • OK, Cancel

   The Wyse 5470 Thin Client behaves in the following manner when the lid is closed:

   • With the AC adapter plugged in—Closing the lid turns off all displays including the external displays.

   You can change the close lid behavior by using the INI parameters. For more information about the INI parameters, see the Dell Wyse ThinOS INI Reference Guide at www.dell.com/support.
