 After a File Server BIOS update to a Wyse 5010 thin client/ Wyse 5040 thin client/ Wyse 7010
thin client/Wyse 5060 thin client/Wyse 3030 LT thin client device, due to a CMOS mismatch,
BIOS management may not be possible till the user manually enters and exits the BIOS
configuration menu. This can be accomplished as follows:
o Boot unit and press Delete during boot to enter BIOS menu.
o Enter the BIOS password.
o Press F10 to save BIOS configurations and resolve the CMOS mismatch.
