Dell Wyse 3040 thin client is a low-cost entry level thin client platform. These thin clients have a x86 processor, which allows you to run

Wyse ThinOS, PCoIP enabled Wyse ThinOS, and Wyse ThinLinux. The platform is used as a thin client by connecting to any monitor and

allows you to use a remote access client for VDI or cloud-based computing.

About this guide

This guide is intended for Wyse 3040 thin clients which run Wyse ThinOS, PCoIP enabled Wyse ThinOS, and Wyse ThinLinux. It provides

hardware specifications and OS-specific configurations to help you work with Wyse 3040 thin clients.

published applications and for backward compatibility with ThinOS 6.x versions.

to select. This option is recommended for VDI and any full-screen only connections.

In any desktop case, you can select the desktop option you want (Classic Desktop or Zero Desktop) and create the connections you need

using the Visual Experience tab on the Remote Connections dialog box.

To open the Remote Connections dialog box, perform one of the following tasks:

NOTE: User Name is the user who is logged-on and is located at the lower-left pane of the taskbar

2. Click the Dual Head tab, and use the following guidelines:

Wyse 3040 thin client on ThinOS 7

This feature is applicable for supported dual-monitor-capable thin clients only.

a) Dual Head—Select Mirror Mode to have the two monitors work in a matching state, or Span Mode to have the two monitors

work individually.

b) Main Screen—Select which of the two monitors you want to be the main screen (Screen1 or Screen2). The other screen is

extended from the main screen.

c) Layout—Select how you want the two monitors to be oriented to each other.

Horizontal — where you move between the monitors from the left and right of the screens.

Vertical— where you move between the monitors from the top and bottom of the screens.

will be disabled once you click Save+Exit. You can enable it again by setting rgamma={1-100} ggamma={1-100} bgamma={1-100}

in the Resolution INI parameter. For more information, see Dell Wyse ThinOS INI Guide.

For Swap dual screens, when you set Main Screen to Screen2, an additional check box is displayed at the bottom of the tab that

allows you to swap dual screens. If you clear the check box, the Screen1 is usually the left one or the top one in dual display. When

you set Main Screen to Screen2, the main screen is changed to the right screen or bottom screen. If you select the Swap dual

screens check box, you are able to set Main Screen to Screen2, but still have it at the left side or the top side, which is considered

more user friendly.

Configuring the network settings on Dell Wyse

NOTE: The maximum characters allowed in the Printer Identification field is 31. If your printer driver string is

more than 31 characters (including space), you can create a txt file (printer.txt) and upload to your file server.

Edit the txt file and type the content, such as "HP Color" = "HP Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP PCL6

Class Driver". Add the command line printermap=printer.txt to your wnos.ini file. Now, you can type “HP

Color” in the Printer Identification field instead of the full driver string.

d) Printer Class— This is optional. Select the printer class from the list PCL5, PS, or TXT or PCL4.

e) Enable the printer device — Select this option to enable the directly-connected printer. It enables the device to display on the

remote host.

To configure the LPDs settings:

1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Printer.

The Printer Setup dialog box is displayed.

NOTE: Be sure to check with your vendor that the printer can accept Line Printer Request print requests.

a) Select LPD —Select the port you want from the list.

b) Printer Name —(Required) Enter name you want displayed in your list of printers.

c) Printer Identification—Enter the type or model of the printer in the exact text of the Windows printer driver name—including

capitalizations and spaces.

incoming print jobs properly. For example, auto can be used for HP LaserJet 4200n PCL6 as per documentation found on the HP

Web site.

NOTE: If the printer is attached to another thin client on your network, the LPD Queue Name must match the

content of the Printer Name box on the thin client with the printer attached.

g) Enable the printer device—Must be selected to enable the printer. It enables the device so it displays on the remote host.

3. Click OK to save the settings.

NOTE: When the LPD printer is mapped to one session and you cannot access the LPD service host, then the TCP

connection tries to connect to the LPD service host. The timeout period is 60 seconds. During this timeout period, if

you try to close the session, the session waits until the LPD printer connection is established. The initialization

a) Select SMB—Select the SMB you want from the list.

c) Printer Identification—Enter the type or model of the printer in the exact text of the Windows printer driver name—including

This name must be either the device driver name for the printer under the Microsoft Windows system, or a key to map to the

device driver. If not specified, the name will be defaulted to the printer-supplied identification for standard direct-connected USB

printers or Generic / Text for non-USB connected printers upon connection to Windows hosts. The driver name mapping takes

place either through a printer-mapping file read by the system as part of the global profile (wnos.ini) or by MetaFrame servers

e) Printer Class —(Optional) Select the printer class from the list.

If the thin client is to be used as an LPD printer server, DHCP must not be used and a static IP address must be assigned to the

thin client.

3. Click OK to save the settings.

Wyse 3040 thin client running Wyse ThinLinux

On your initial configuration, Dell recommends that you connect by using a wired connection by plugging in the network connected

Ethernet cable to your thin client.

After you turn on your thin client, you are automatically logged in to the thinuser account. By default, the password of the thinuser

account is set to thinuser.

NOTE: In cases where a GDM login is needed (for example, AD/Domain login, the PNAgent login, and so on), the

autologin option can be turned off through the GUI or by using the INI.

Admin mode enables you to perform system administration tasks such as adding or removing connections and setting up specific device

settings. To enter into the Admin mode, click the Switch to Admin button from Setting application screen to admin mode and then enter

• Intel Turbo Boost

The Intel Cherry Trail SOC has inbuilt thermal control that prevents overheating of the thin client. When the temperature of the SOC

crosses a preset value (PL1), the CPU speed drops to a lower speed to cool down the SOC and prevent overheating. The PL1 value is set

in the BIOS.

Intel Turbo Boost allows the processor cores to work more than the rated operating frequency. Intel Turbo Boost is activated when the

operating system requires a frequency higher than the rated frequency of the processor. The performance and frequency of Intel Turbo

Boost Technology depends on the following factors:

• Type of workload

• Number of active cores

• Estimated current consumption

by the Intel Turbo Boost that can be enabled or disabled in the BIOS settings. When enabled, the dynamic overclocking occurs in the

operating system. When disabled, the dynamic overclocking does not occur.

The BIOS on Wyse 3040 thin client has PL1 set to 2.2 W and the SOC thermal sensor triggers a CPU throttle when the temperature of

the SOC exceeds 83º C. This indicates that when the GPU/CPU combined workload exceeds 2.2 W or temperature exceeds 83º C, the

SOC starts throttling the CPU speed to 480 Mhz. After throttling if the temperature drops, the CPU goes back to the normal speed of

1.44 GHz.

When the Intel Turbo Boost is enabled, the BIOS could increase the speed of the CPU cores to a higher speed temporarily depending on

the operating system workload. The thermal limits of the SOC are increased. When this happens, the CPU speed drops to 480 Mhz to

protect the SOC from overheating. This throttling happens as soon as the thermal limit is reached.

When the Intel Turbo Boost is not enabled, there is no over clocking of the CPU. When the operating system is under normal workloads,
