Dell Wyse ThinOS Version 9.0 Administrator’s Guide

Configure ThinOS using First Boot Wizard

A First Boot Wizard application runs the first time when you start a thin client with ThinOS. The thin client starts the First Boot Wizard application before you enter the ThinOS desktop. Use this application to perform tasks, such as, configuring system preferences, setting up the Internet connectivity, loading USB configurations, configuring management software, and configuring broker connections.

1. Connect your thin client to an Ethernet using a wired connection.
   NOTE If you want to use a wireless connection, you can connect to Wi-Fi on the How do You Connect? screen at a later stage.
2. Turn on your thin client.
   The thin client checks for a wired network connection. If the network connection is successful, a welcome screen is displayed followed by the EULA screen. For more information about the EULA screen, see End User License Agreement.

   

3. Click Dell EULA or HID EULA from the right pane to read the respective EULAs. If you have installed the ThinOS application packages, ensure that you read the respective EULAs of the third-party applications.
