Introduction
Thin clients running Dell Wyse ThinOS firmware are designed solely for optimal thin client security and performance. These
efficient purpose-built thin clients are virus and malware resistant, and offer ultrafast access to applications, files and network
resources within Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and Dell vWorkspace environments, and other leading infrastructures. ThinOS based
thin clients are self-managed, go from power-on to fully productive in seconds, and with no published API, locally accessible file
system or browser, require no local McAfee Anti-Virus software or firewall to protect against viruses or malware.
Logging on to the Wyse 5070 thin client running Wyse
ThinOS
What you see after logging on to the server depends on the administrator configurations.
● Users with a Classic Desktop - will see the classic ThinOS desktop with full taskbar, desktop, and Connect Manager
familiar to ThinOS users. This option is the default out-of-the-box experience and is recommended for terminal server
environments with published applications and for backward compatibility with ThinOS 6.x versions.
● Users with a Zero Desktop - will see the Zero Desktop with the Zero Toolbar showing the assigned list of connections
from which to select. This option is recommended for VDI and any full-screen only connections.
In any desktop case, you can select the desktop option you want (Classic Desktop or Zero Desktop) and create the connections
you need using the Visual Experience tab on the Remote Connections dialog box.
To open the Remote Connections dialog box, perform one of the following tasks:
● Classic Desktop — Click User Name , and then select System Setup > Remote Connections.
NOTE: User Name is the user who is logged-on and is located at the lower-left pane of the taskbar
● Zero Desktop — Click the System Settings icon on the Zero Toolbar, and then select Remote Connections.
Configuring ThinOS using the First Boot Wizard
The First Boot Wizard runs the first time you start a new thin client with the ThinOS version 8.5. The thin client starts the
First Boot Wizard application before you enter the ThinOS system desktop, and allows you to perform a set of tasks, such
as, configuring system preferences, setting up the internet connectivity, loading USB configurations, configuring management
software, and configuring broker connections.
If you are an existing thin client user, and you have upgraded to the ThinOS version 8.5, then you can reset your thin client to
factory default settings to enter the First Boot Wizard.
