Before working on ThinOS

Firmware installation and package deployment

Consider the following before you install the ThinOS firmware and deploy the ThinOS packages:

• The installed RTME, Horizon, and JVDI packages are saved to the hidden partition.

• The Merlin images include both RTME and Horizon packages.

To install the ThinOS firmware, use any of the following:

• File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Windows server

• HTTPS Windows server

• Dell Wyse Management Suite

NOTE:

To avoid uncertain issues, ensure that when you upgrade your firmware, you do not skip versions.

Notes

Firmware installation using FTP server

Ensure that you have set up a Windows PC or Server with Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and FTP services installed. If you

do not have the FTP server installed, then refer to the article about how to setup an FTP server at support.microsoft.com.
