Converting Wyse Z Class to ThinOS  
This chapter includes the requirements and procedures you need to install and use Wyse®  
USB Firmware ToolTM to update your thin client to ThinOS firmware.  
TIP: The purpose of the Wyse USB Firmware Tool is to configure a bootable USB key for  
device firmware. In the following procedures, you will create two configured USB keys  
containing the firmware contents that you need, and then boot from these configured USB  
keys on the thin clients you want to convert to push the contents of the USB key onto  
these target devices.  
EXTREEMLY IMPORTANT: You must perform the steps to create and use the two  
configured USB keys on each thin client as noted. You cannot completely convert one thin  
client and then use the USB Firmware Tool to pull and push that image to your other thin  
clients.  
Requirements  
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1  
Windows 7 Enterprise (32-bit and 64-bit)  
Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit and 64-bit)  
2 USB Keys:  
·
USB 2.0 only  
Each USB key size should be 16 GB (see also "USB Keys - Troubleshooting Boot  
CAUTION: During the USB key configuration process the USB keys will be reformatted.

Step 4: Use the Configured USB Key to Install Firmware on Each Thin Client  
In this step, you will boot each thin client you want to convert from the configured USB key  
so that the USB key will push the contents from the USB key onto the target device.  
NOTE: BIOS selection, movement, and exit instructions are displayed in the BIOS  
window.  
1. Be sure the client is shut down and disconnected from any network.  
2. Insert the configured USB key into a thin client USB 2.0 port.  
3. Power on the thin client and during boot, press and hold the Delete key.  
4. Enter the password Fireport (this is case sensitive) and press Enter.  
5. Select the Advanced tab.  
6. Using the down arrow key, select the Boot from USB option and press Enter.  
7. Select the Enabled option and press Enter.

Boot Priority Order 1 position by using the + key.  
10.Press the F10 key to save, exit, and reboot the client from the configured USB key.  
When booting a target device from the configured USB key (containing the contents to  
be pushed to a target device), you will be prompted to continue with the push process  
(to continue, type y and press Enter). Once the push process is complete, you must  
reboot (press Enter and remove the USB key).  
CAUTION: DO NOT interrupt the installation/conversion process. All process  
requirements are done automatically. Some screens may display for several seconds  
during the process.

that your general system information is correct:  
Classic Desktop - Click System Information in the Desktop Menu.  
Wyse Zero Desktop - Click the System Information icon on the Wyse Zero  
Toolbar.  
1. On the General tab of the System Information window, verify the following:  
System Version is 8.0_037.  
2. After verification, close the System Information window.

Step 6: Update the BIOS on Each Converted Thin Client  
In this step you will use the USB Firmware Tool to update the BIOS of each thin client to  
BIOS version 3.0D. To do this, you must repeat the following steps on a separate  
(second) USB key using the commandsXml.xml file located in the Z Class ThinOS 3.0D  
BIOS Image folder on your hard drive (this is the location you selected in "Step 1: Copy  
4. After verifying thin client operation, verify the BIOS version by doing the following:  
Reboot your thin client and you will see a Wyse logo for a short period of time. During  
this period you can press and hold the Delete key to enter the BIOS to view the BIOS  
version (enter Fireport as the password). Be sure the BIOS version is 3.0D (you can  
also note that for security, the Boot from USB option is disabled by default). After  
verification, close the BIOS. The thin client is ready for operation and setup by an  
administrator.  
TIP: For more information, see Administrators Guide: Wyse ThinOS™.  
Administrator and other documentation for your thin client model are available at:  
Step 7: Attach a Wyse Conversion Label on Each Converted Thin Client  
The conversion kit is supplied with Wyse Conversion Labels that must be attached to each  
thin client. Be sure you have purchased the amount of labels you need.  
CAUTION: Failure to install the labels may cause delays in service and support. The serial  
number must be given to a Customer Support Technician to validate entitlement to support  
and service from Wyse. Failure to do so will result in the original operating system being  
loaded on the device and is in breach of your license agreement.

http://support.wyse.com/selfservice.html. If you are not under maintenance and wish to  
gain access to ThinOS software updates, you must complete a product registration:

Troubleshooting  
This section contains general troubleshooting information.  
USB Keys - Troubleshooting Boot Issues  
Due to different manufacturing processes on USB keys (and the variety of them), not all  
brands have been tested with the Wyse USB Firmware Tool. If you experience problems  
booting from a configured USB key, it is recommended that you try a different brand of  
USB key.  
SanDisk Cruiser Flash Drives - Troubleshooting Partition Issues  
Problem: How can I properly use a SanDisk Cruiser flash drive to image supported  
devices using the Wyse USB Firmware Tool? (KB17735)  
Solution: SanDisk flash drives come with support for U3 (for details on U3, see  
http://u3.sandisk.com). When you initially use these drives, you are prompted to select the  
use for the drive: Apps and Storage or only Storage. If you select the Apps and Storage  
option, the drive will create two partitions, one of which is identified as a CD and is a read  
only partition. This partition sometimes prevents the Wyse USB Firmware Tool to properly  
prepare the USB key for imaging a device. To resolve this problem you can do one of the  
following:  
Go to http://www.sandisk.com, search in the SanDisk Knowledge Base for document  
2550, and then follow the instructions in the documentation.  
Drives from the Select Product Type list, click Find Driver, select U3 LaunchPad  
Remover, click Continue, and then download and use the U3 Launchpad Remover  
according to the instructions.
