Dell Wyse ThinOS 9.1.4234, 9.1.5067 and 9.1.6108 Migration Guide

PDF

Edit BIOS settings

Prerequisites

  • If you are using Wyse Management Suite, ensure that you have registered the thin client and synchronize the BIOS admin password. The WDA stores the current BIOS password to unlock the BIOS and apply the required changes. For more information about using the Sync BIOS Admin Password option, see the Dell Wyse Management Suite v2.1 Administrator's Guide at www.dell.com/support.
    NOTE: From ThinOS 9.1.6108, if you have not synced the BIOS password in WMS server, you can input the current BIOS password in BIOS policy to publish BIOS settings. If you have synced the BIOS password in WMS server, the Current BIOS Admin password option in BIOS policy is ignored. WMS server uses the synced BIOS password to publish BIOS settings.
  • If you are using the Admin Policy Tool, ensure that you enter the current BIOS admin password in the Advanced > BIOS section.

Steps

  1. Open the Admin Policy Tool on the thin client or go to the ThinOS 9.x policy settings on Wyse Management Suite.
  2. In the Configuration Control | ThinOS window, click the Advanced tab.
  3. Expand BIOS and select your preferred platform.
  4. In the System Configuration section, modify the USB ports and audio settings.
  5. In the Security section, modify the administrator-related configurations.
  6. In the Power Management section, modify the power-saving options.
  7. In the POST Behavior section, enable or disable the MAC Address Pass-Through feature. This option is applicable only to the Wyse 5470 Thin Client.
  8. Click Save & Publish.
    NOTE: If the BIOS does not have a password and if you are setting a new password, and then the password is applied after the first reboot. Other setting changes are applied after the second reboot.
    NOTE: If you change the BIOS password using a select group, it requires a reboot to take effect.
    NOTE: If you enable Set Admin Password, set new BIOS password and then reboot the thin client, the new BIOS password is synced to WMS server automatically.
    NOTE: If you first enable Set Admin Password, set the new BIOS password, and then disable Set Admin Password, the BIOS password is cleared to empty.
    NOTE: On ThinOS clients, the Current BIOS Admin Password option is always blank, and the Set Admin Password option is always disabled. These options do not have any impact on the functionality.
