Table 41. Configuring firmware upgrade
Option Description
Disable Live Upgrade This parameter automatically installs the new firmware on the
thin client based on the defined policies immediately after you
restart the thin client. To check for new firmware on each
restart, disable this option.
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.
Define desired platform or firmware mappings This option maps the specific firmware versions to different
platform type.
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 currently uploaded to the File Repository
Inventory page are displayed.
Configuring global INI settings—ThinOS 8.5 and later versions
Use the Global INI settings page to configure global INI settings.
Table 42. Configuring global INI settings
Option Description
Global INI
From the drop-down list, select your preferred option. A
global.ini file contains the global parameters for all the
devices. The parameters can be existing wnos.ini or a
newly created .INI file which is uploaded to the file repository.
