Converting Wyse Z Class to ThinOS

7

Step 4: Use the Configured USB Key to Install Firmware on Each Thin Client

In this step, you will boot each thin client you want to convert from the configured USB key so that the USB key will push the contents from the USB key onto the target device. NOTE: BIOS selection, movement, and exit instructions are displayed in the BIOS window.

1.Be sure the client is shut down and disconnected from any network.

2.Insert the configured USB key into a thin client USB 2.0 port.

3.Power on the thin client and during boot, press and hold the Delete key.

4.Enter the password Fireport (this is case sensitive) and press Enter.

5.Select the Advanced tab.

6.Using the down arrow key, select the Boot from USB option and press Enter.

7.Select the Enabled option and press Enter.

8.Select the Boot tab.

9.Select the USB HDD option (displaying your USB key vendor name) and move it to the Boot Priority Order 1 position by using the + key.

10.Press the F10 key to save, exit, and reboot the client from the configured USB key. When booting a target device from the configured USB key (containing the contents to be pushed to a target device), you will be prompted to continue with the push process (to continue, type y and press Enter). Once the push process is complete, you must reboot (press Enter and remove the USB key).

CAUTION: DO NOT interrupt the installation/conversion process. All process requirements are done automatically. Some screens may display for several seconds during the process.

11.After a target device completes the installation/conversion process and displays the ThinOS desktop, continue with "Step 5: Verifying Thin Client Operation."

TIP: You can use the configured USB key to push the firmware onto as many target

devices as you want (repeat "Step 4: Use the Configured USB Key to Install Firmware on Each Thin Client").

Step 5: Verifying Thin Client Operation

After the thin client displays the ThinOS desktop, you can verify the System Version and that your general system information is correct:

Classic Desktop - Click System Information in the Desktop Menu.

Wyse Zero Desktop - Click the System Information icon on the Wyse Zero Toolbar.

1.On the General tab of the System Information window, verify the following:

System Version is 8.0_037.

2.After verification, close the System Information window.
