NOTE:
• For information about the ThinOS build number, package versions, and BIOS versions, see the latest Dell Wyse ThinOS Release
Notes.
• To downgrade the ThinOS rmware, ensure that you set the INI parameter Autoload=2, and follow the procedure using the FTP
server.
Firmware upgrade 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.
Installing the Windows IIS creates the directory C:\inetpub\ftproot, which is known as the FTP root. In the ftproot directory, create a folder
wyse and a sub folder wnos. The directory structure must read as C:\inetpub\ftproot\WYSE\wnos.
To upgrade the ThinOS rmware using FTP server:
1 Go to www.dell.com/support.
2 Download the latest ThinOS rmware and latest ThinOS packages that corresponds to your thin client model. If the rmware and
packages are in the form of a compressed self-extracting (.EXE) or zipped le (.ZIP), then extract the les.
3 Place the extracted rmware les in the C:\inetpub\ftproot\WYSE\wnos folder, and the packages to C:\inetpub\ftproot\WYSE\wnos
\pkg on your FTP server.
4 Create a wnos.ini text le (using a text editor) in the C:\inetpub\ftproot\WYSE\wnos folder with the following INI parameters:
Autoload=2 loadpkg=1 Addpkg=TCX,FR,horizon
The option Autoload=2, ensures that the thin client uses the rmware installed on the server to upgrade, only if the rmware on the
thin client is older than the version on the server. The option LoadPkg species how to update the external packages. If LoadPkg is
not in the statement, it will inherit the value of
AutoLoad.
Base package and the PCoIP package are integrated into the ThinOS rmware image. Installing the latest ThinOS rmware image
automatically installs the latest version of these packages on the ThinOS client. If you set AutoLoad=1 LoadPkg=0, the rmware is
checked, but the packages are not checked. The packages check is performed after rmware check. From ThinOS 8.3, the external
packages update mechanism is changed. Some packages are default, and loaded according to value of LoadPkg. For example RTME.
Some packages need additional parameter
AddPkg to add. For example, FR, Horizon, and TCX. The option AddPkg is for adding
packages. It depends on the value of LoadPkg. For more information about the INI parameter usage, see Dell Wyse ThinOS INI
Reference Guide.
5 Save the wnos.ini le.
