- Frequently asked questions
● Click either USB or File Server to select your target device you want to use for CMOS management.
● Extract CMOS—Click this option to extract the CMOS settings and certain BIOS settings to the USB drive or file
server based on your target device selection. ThinOS reads the CMOS settings from the SMBIOS Interface for Dell BIOS,
and the CMOS interface for legacy Wyse BIOS. For information about the support matrix, see the Dell Wyse ThinOS
Version 8.6 Release Notes at www.dell.com/support.
NOTE: You can only extract the BIOS settings that are supported by the INI parameter Device=CMOS and
Device=DellCMOS.
● Restore CMOS—Click this option to write the CMOS settings and BIOS settings from the USB drive to the target thin
client. For information about the support matrix, see the Dell Wyse ThinOS Version 8.6 Release Notes at www.dell.com/
support.
NOTE: You can restore the BIOS settings that are supported by the INI parameter Device=CMOS and
Device=DellCMOS.
●
Performance Monitor—Click this option to display the CPU usage history with frames per second (FPS), Memory, and
Networking information. The graphs display on top of all windows.
● Force Coredump—Use this option to forcibly generate the debug information for technical investigation when your
system is not responding. Both the coredump file and the trap information image are saved to the local drive.
After you restart the thin client, both the coredump file and trap issue screenshot file are uploaded to the /wnos/
troubleshoot/ directory of the file server or a USB drive.
● Export Shadow Tmp—Use this option to export temporary logs for debugging purpose. All log files can be exported to
a USB drive or file server depending on the target configuration.
● Export Screenshot—Use this option to export screenshots to the file server or a USB drive. The exported file name
is added with build information for a better troubleshooting. If a screenshot is present in the clipboard, it is exported to
the target location. If the screenshot is not available, the full screen is copied automatically and exported to the target
location.
● Export INI files—Use this option to export the global INI file (wnos.ini or xen.ini), wdm.ini, ccm.ini, mac.ini, or other
machine based INI file to the file server or a USB drive. Only username.ini file cannot be exported.
3. Click the Trace tab to configure the trace actions and delay on trace. The available options for trace action are None,
