1 Introduction Thin clients running Dell Wyse ThinOS firmware are designed solely for optimal thin client security and performance. These efficient purpose-built thin clients are virus and malware resistant and offer ultrafast access to applications, files and network resources within Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and Dell vWorkspace environments, and other leading infrastructures.
2 Before working on ThinOS Firmware installation and package deployment Consider the following before you install the ThinOS firmware and deploy the ThinOS packages: • • The installed RTME, Horizon, and JVDI packages are saved to the hidden partition. The Merlin images include both RTME and Horizon packages.
Installing the Windows IIS creates the directory C:\inetpub\ftproot, which is known as the FTP root. In the ftproot directory, create a folder wyse and a sub folder wnos. The directory structure must read as C:\inetpub\ftproot\WYSE\wnos. To install or upgrade the ThinOS firmware using FTP server: 1. Go to www.dell.com/support. 2. Download the latest ThinOS firmware and latest ThinOS packages that corresponds to your thin client model.
Installing IIS creates the default directory C:\inetpub\WWWroot, which is known as the WWW root. In the WWWroot directory, create a folder WYSE and a sub folder wnos. The directory structure must read as C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WYSE\wnos. To install or upgrade the ThinOS firmware using HTTPS server: 1. Go to www.dell.com/support. 2. Download the latest ThinOS firmware and latest ThinOS packages that corresponds to your thin client model.
3. Log in to Wyse Management Suite using valid credentials. 4. On the Apps & Data page, in the OS Image Repository section, click ThinOS. 5. Click Add Firmware File. The Add File dialog box is displayed. 6. Browse and select the downloaded firmware file. Enter an appropriate description. 7. Click Upload. The ThinOS firmware file is uploaded, and the firmware file is listed on the Apps & Data - ThinOS OS Image Repository page. 8. Select the check box that corresponds to your ThinOS firmware file. 9.
1. Download the Dell BIOS file from the respective hardware pages on Dell support site. For example, 5470AIO_bios.bin. The BIOS version may be updated in each release. For the latest version of BIOS, see the latest Dell Wyse ThinOS Release Notes. 2. Upload the BIOS file to folder WNOS in the file server—ftp or https. 3. Ensure that the INI parameter autoload is enabled for firmware update in WNOS.INI. 4. Restart the thin client. The BIOS is updated automatically.
How to set up automatic updates and configurations For a thin client running ThinOS to successfully access INI files and update itself from a server, you must set up the server with the correct folder structure where the INI files and other update files are located, direct the thin client to the server, and then reboot or start the thin client Once DHCP and servers are configured and available, the thin client checks (at each boot up) to see whether or not any updates are available on a predefined server DH
Option Description Notes 162 Root path to the file server (ftp/http/https) Optional string. If the option provided by the server is blank and the server provides no value for the field, a null string is used. \wyse\wnos is automatically appended to the search path. For example, if you enter pub\serversoftware, the path searchedare pub\serversoftware\wyse \wnos. NOTE: You can have the \wyse automatic component of the search path omitted by appending a dollar sign ($) to the entered path.
3 Getting started This chapter helps you quickly learn the basics and get started with your thin client.
