Restoring Default Settings
Depending on the default settings you want to restore on the thin client, you can:
• Use the BIOS to restore default values for all the items in the BIOS setup utility For more information, see Accessing Thin Client BIOS
Settings.
• Re-image the thin client to restore all factory default settings using the Dell Wyse USB Firmware Tool or WDM, For more information,
see Imaging Devices with the Wyse USB Firmware Tool.
Preparing to Re-image
The thin client can only be returned to factory defaults by re-imaging the thin client, the same process used when upgrading the rmware.
The re-imaging process requires:
• A clean image — Go to http://www.dell.com/wyse/downloads, select the active product download you need images are device
dependent; be sure to select the correct model you want to re-image, and then download the les. Note that these les are normally in
a compressed (.zip) format and will need to be extracted or executed, if in .exe format before use.
• Imaging software — Dell provides two imaging software products to re-image your thin client:
• Dell Wyse USB Firmware ToolTM —recommended for smaller environments.
• Dell Wyse Device ManagerTM— recommended for larger environments.
