The Select ThinOS Configuration Mode window is displayed.
14. Click Advanced Configuration.
15. In the Device Configuration section, click Firmware Upgrade.
16. Select the Enable BIOS Upgrade check box.
17. Select one or more BIOS files.
NOTE:
● When deploying a group policy, you can select multiple BIOS files. However, the policy must reject any duplicate
platforms.
● If two BIOS files are selected, the policy cannot be saved and an error Firmware Upgrade policy contains
duplicate platforms for BIOS upgrade is displayed.
● At Device Level Exception, only BIOS files that have the same platform as the selected device are listed. You can
select only a single file.
18. Click Save & Publish.
If BIOS is already applied, the ThinOS client ignores the BIOS update process. If the BIOS version of the uploaded file does
not match the existing BIOS version on the thin client, the BIOS file is successfully downloaded and updated on the thin
client.
Upgrading BIOS on Wyse 3040 thin client
This section describes the procedure to update BIOS on Wyse 3040 thin client with ThinOS, and Wyse 3040 thin client with
PCoIP by using file server.
The Dell Standard BIOS file is converted to BIN file format for signature and security purposes. The format of the BIN file is
Wyse_3040_version.bin.
Upgrading BIOS by using file server
To upgrade BIOS using file server, do the following:
1. Download the Dell BIOS file at the www.dell.com/support.
For example, Wyse_3040_version.bin. The BIOS version may be updated in each release. For the latest version of
BIOS, refer to the latest Dell Wyse ThinOS Release Notes.
2. Rename the Dell BIOS file as A10Q_bios.bin.
3. Upload the renamed BIOS file to folder WNOS in the https server.
4. Ensure that the INI parameter autoload is enabled for firmware update in WNOS.INI.
5. Restart the thin client.
BIOS is updated automatically.
To verify whether the new BIOS is updated correctly, from the desktop menu, click the System Information option, or click
the System Information icon in zero mode. In the Event Log tab, the BIOS version log is displayed.
For example, System Version: 8.5_017 (ROM 1.2.1).
This log indicates that the BIOS version is updated to v1.2.1.
BIOS version can be viewed on the BIOS setup screen. To access the BIOS setup, do the following:
1. Restart the thin client, and during system boot press the F2 key.
2. Enter the BIOS password, if admin password is set.
3. Click Settings > General > System Information.
The BIOS version is displayed on the screen.
BIOS can be updated by using the Wyse Management Suite console. For more information about Wyse Management Suite, see
Dell Wyse Management Suite Administrator's Guide.
