2. Turn on your thin client.
The thin client checks for a wired network connection. If the network connection is successful, a welcome screen with the
model name of your thin client is displayed.
The thin client validates the IP address from DHCP. If the DHCP contains the file server or the Wyse Device Manager or
Wyse Management Suite configurations, then the ThinOS system desktop is loaded without entering the First Boot Wizard.
If the DHCP validation fails or if you have not connected to Ethernet, then follow the next step.
NOTE: To exit the First Boot Wizard during the network connection status check on the welcome screen, press the Ctrl
+ Esc key.
3. On the Would you like to load a ThinOS configuration file from USB? screen, do either of the following:
● To load a ThinOS configuration file from the USB drive, ensure that you create a wnos.ini file and add the file to
the /wnos directory on the USB drive. Using this option, you can load packages, and wallpapers that are specified in
the INI file. Plug in the USB drive to thin client, and click Yes.
NOTE: Only FAT, FAT32, and ExFAT file systems on the USB disk are supported. NTFS file system is not supported.
The thin client validates the configuration file in the USB drive.
○ If the ThinOS configuration file in the USB drive is correct, the Read configuration success message is displayed.
Click OK to exit the First Boot Wizard, and log in to the ThinOS system desktop.
○ If the ThinOS configuration file in the USB drive is corrupted or the appropriate file is not available, then the Cannot
find configuration files, or read configuration failure message is displayed. Upload the correct file on the USB
drive, plug the USB drive again, and then click Retry. If the file is correct, the Read configuration success message
is displayed. Click OK to exit the First Boot Wizard, and log in to the ThinOS system desktop.
If you do not want to use the Retry option to load the ThinOS configuration file, then click Abort to enter the
System Preferences configuration setup.
NOTE:
To exit the Cannot find configuration files, or read configuration failure message screen, and load
the ThinOS system desktop, click Exit.
● To enter the System Preferences configuration setup, click No.
