The following are the steps for extracting CMOS Settings to a USB Key for Distribution for C00 BIOS version 1.0B_SPC001
0407:
1. To prepare a Reference Drive containing BIOS version 1.0B_SPC001-0407 or later:
a. The Reference Device is a golden image you use to distribute to other zero client devices. To access Reference Drive,
enter the BIOS Setup Utility. Press the Delete key, enter the Password Fireport (case sensitive) and press Enter.
Configuring the CMOS settings, includes AutoPower, BootOrder, P-key setting, BiosPassword.
b. Save your CMOS Settings.
c. Restart your zero client device.
2. To extract the CMOS Settings to a USB Key:
a. Attach a formatted USB key on the zero client device which you want to use as a Reference Device.
For example, to format on Windows 7 , attach the USB Key, right-click on the USB Key > Format > Restore device
defaults > Quick Format and then click Start.
b. After the extraction is complete, a pop-up message: CMOS: extract to R00_cmos.1.0H_SPC is displayed and then
eject and detach the USB Key. The CMOS settings on the USB Key are now ready for distribution to other zero clients.
3. To restore the CMOS Settings to your Target Devices:
a. Start the targeted zero clients, to distribute the Reference Device CMOS settings.
b. To configure the CMOS settings from the USB Key to the targeted zero client, go to Restore CMOS from USB GUI
feature of ThinOS Lite.
For Wyse Zero Desktop: Click on System Settings icon, go to System Tools > General tab > USB > Restore
CMOS.
c. After the restoration is complete, a pop-up message: CMOS: restore from R00_cmos.1.0H_SPC is displayed and then
eject and detach the USB Key. The CMOS settings on the USB Key are now reflected on the targeted zero clients.
NOTE: The above procedure is also applicable for other supported BIOS versions.
Accessing Zero Client BIOS Settings
After starting your zero client you will see a Dell logo for a short period of time. During this period you can press and hold the
Delete key to enter the BIOS with Fireport as the password, to make your modifications. 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 zero client for Citrix and Wyse 3020 zero client for Citrix, 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.
