Option Description
Firmware Update Logic This parameter determines how the thin client behaves when the
new firmware is published from the management console. From
the drop-down menu, select any one of the following options:
• Do not update—Thin client ignores the firmware versions
assigned to the management policies.
• New firmware only—Thin client updates the firmware only
when a newer version is assigned to the management policy.
• Any different firmware—Thin client updates the firmware to
the version assigned by the management policy—even if the
version is lower than the current image on device.
Skip Local Firmware Check Select this option to enable the thin client to bypass the local file
server checks for the firmware updates.
NOTE: Dell recommends that you enable this option if
you define a firmware on the management console. It
leads to an endless restart as the thin client applies
differing images, if you have firmware policies in the
management console and firmware on a local file server.
Verify Signature Select the check box to verify the signature.
Enable BIOS Upgrade Select this option to enable the BIOS upgrade process.
Select BIOS File Select this option to choose the BIOS file which is uploaded in the
file repository. From the drop-down menu, select the BIOS file.
Enable Package Upgrade Select this option to enable the package upgrade process. This
option is available for thin clients running ThinOS 8.6_017 and later
versions. To upload the package, go to Apps & Data > OS Image
Repository > ThinOS > Add Package file. For more information,
see Adding ThinOS package file to repository.
Available Packages Select the package files that need to be deployed to the thin client.
Define desired platform or firmware mappings This option maps the specific firmware versions to different
platform types.
To map a platform type to a specific firmware version, do the
following:
1. From the Platform Type drop-down menu, select a platform.
2. From the Firmware to auto-deploy drop-down menu, select
a firmware version.
The list of platform types and the number of firmware versions
uploaded to the File Repository Inventory page are displayed.
Configuring device settings
Use the Device Settings (8.6+) page to configure the mouse, keyboard, monitor, time zone, printers, audio, and network settings for
ThinOS 8.6 and later versions.
