Before working on ThinOS
This section contains information about firmware upgrade and system configuration that you need to know before using ThinOS
version 8.6.
Firmware upgrade and package deployment
Consider the following before you upgrade the ThinOS firmware and deploy the ThinOS packages:
● On Wyse 5070 Extended thin client, the AMD firmware is upgraded to a newer version. If you want to downgrade ThinOS
from 8.6 to 8.5.1, you must shut down and boot the thin client again. If you do not shut down and reboot, a black screen is
displayed on the monitor that is connected to the AMD GPU port. Also, the AMD DP port sequence is updated.
● On Wyse 5070 thin clients, the Bluetooth firmware is upgraded to a newer version from ThinOS 8.5_108. If you want to
update the thin client with the Bluetooth module from ThinOS version 8.5_107 to 8.5_108 or later, Dell recommends that you
disconnect the power cable and connect the power cable again before you reboot.
● In ThinOS 8.6, the installed RTME, Horizon, and JVDI packages are saved to the hidden partition. When you downgrade
ThinOS firmware to previous versions, and upgrade the firmware to 8.6 again, the ThinOS device reinstalls the saved
packages from the hidden partition. You can delete the package to clean the backup data from the device.
● From ThinOS version 8.6, the Merlin images include both RTME and Horizon packages.
● If you push Merlin images on Wyse 5010, 5040, and 7010 thin clients with 4 GB or higher flash size, the RTME and Horizon
packages are formatted.
To upgrade the ThinOS firmware, use any of the following:
● HTTPS Windows server
● Dell Wyse Management Suite
NOTE:
To avoid uncertain issues, ensure that when you upgrade your firmware, you do not skip versions. To downgrade the
ThinOS firmware, ensure that you set the INI parameter Autoload=2, and follow the procedure using the HTTPS server.
