● Supports one Quad HD display at 30 Hz and two Full HD displays at 60 Hz.
● If two displays with resolution greater than 1920x1080 are connected simultaneously, only one display works. You must
change the resolutions to 1920x1080 or lower in Display Setup to make both the displays work.
● DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB Type-C audio over the Dell WD19 docking station is not supported.
● Wake-on-LAN feature over the Dell WD19 docking station is not supported.

SD card reader
Wyse 5470 thin client contains an SD card reader. You can insert an SD card and use it as removable storage in ThinOS.
Sleep mode
The sleep mode enables the power-saving state and the thin client resumes power without loss of data.
● ThinOS VDI broker session logs off after resuming from sleep mode for security. You must log in to the broker session again
after resuming from sleep mode.
NOTE:
If you do not want to lose VDI sessions or to login to broker again, it is recommended to disable sleep mode by
using the INI parameter Sleep=no.
● The device automatically enters sleep mode when ThinOS is idle for 20 minutes. This value is the default value. You can set
the idle time in the System Preferences dialog box.
NOTE: The option Battery is for the status without AC power and plugged in is for the status with AC power.
● To enable the thin client to automatically enter the sleep mode, set the Turn Off Screen as screen saver. Sleep mode timer
starts after screen is turned off by the screen saver.
● Before automatically entering the sleep mode the screen flashes for one second.
● To manually enter sleep mode, open the ThinOS shut down menu, select the Sleep option, and click OK.
● Screen Saver and After Turn Off Screen options are always the same when the thin client is on Battery or if the AC
adapter is Plugged in. Only the Timer option is different.
● To resume the thin client from sleep mode, perform any of the following steps:
○ Press the power button.
○ Click the USB mouse or move the wireless USB mouse.
NOTE:
This feature is disabled by default and requires the AC adapter to be plugged in. Use INI parameter

● When you resume the system from sleep mode in the following scenarios, the system is first turned off and then turned on
to load the ThinOS operating system (cold reboot):
○ If the system is on sleep mode for 1 hour.
NOTE: You can change the timer setting using the INI parameter Sleep=yes, MaxSleepPeriod={0-255}.
