Table 43. Conguring rmware upgrade
Option Description
Disable Live Upgrade This parameter automatically installs the new rmware on the thin
client based on the dened policies immediately after you restart
the thin client. To check for new rmware on each restart, disable
this option.
Firmware Update Logic This parameter determines how the thin client behaves when the
new rmware 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 rmware versions
assigned to the management policies.
• New rmware only—Thin client updates the rmware only
when a newer version is assigned to the management policy.
• Any dierent rmware—Thin client updates the rmware 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 le
server checks for the rmware updates.
NOTE: Dell recommends that you enable this option if you
dene a rmware on the management console. It leads to
an endless restart as the thin client applies diering
images, if you have rmware policies in the management
console and rmware on a local le server.
Verify Signature Select the check box to verify the signature.
Enable BIOS Upgrade Select this option to enable the BIOS upgrade process.
