BIOS Management

The BIOS management information is used with the following supported versions:

• Wyse 5010 Zero Client for Citrix - D00DX (ThinOS Lite pro) BIOS version 3.0D or later

For BIOS conguration, if a password is congured, the password is required to update any settings. For example, the INI parameter to

update settings must be same as CurrentPassword={}. This is mandatory for Dell BIOS, and will be implemented as mandatory for Wyse

BIOS post this release.

After a File Server BIOS update to a Wyse 5010 thin client device, due to a CMOS mismatch, BIOS management may not be possible till

the user manually enters and exits the BIOS conguration menu. This can be accomplished as follows:

• Boot unit and press Delete during boot to enter BIOS menu.

• Enter the BIOS password.

• Press F10 to save BIOS congurations and resolve the CMOS mismatch.

The following table contains details on the main BIOS function and support matrix:
