Accessing BIOS settings
After starting your thin client, you will see a Dell logo for a short time. During this period, press and hold the Delete key or F2 key
based on the thin client model.
● Delete key—Press and hold the Delete key to enter the BIOS settings on the ThinOS clients with Wyse BIOS.
● F2 key—Press and hold the F2 key to enter the BIOS settings on the ThinOS clients with Dell Standard BIOS.
When prompted, type the password Fireport to view the BIOS settings screen. For example, you can use the F7 key to use
Optimized Defaults—load optimal default values for all the items in the BIOS setup utility.
NOTE:
These BIOS settings are not applicable to Wyse 3010 thin client and Wyse 3020 thin client, as there is no BIOS
on ARM platform. To access the WLOADER on an ARM platform, press the power button for about four seconds until the
power light turns green, and then press the Delete key.
