2Installing C Class Flash
This chapter contains information for C30LE, C50LE, C90LE, C90LEW, and C90LE7
cloud client users who must install new flash.
Requirements
• Small Phillips screwdriver
• Needle-nose pliers
• (Optional) Plastic alignment tools or equivalent for prying
Warning
Flash modules may be susceptible to damage by Electro-Static Discharge
(ESD). All industry-standard cautions should be followed to avoid ESD.
Before you remove or install a module, touch any metal part of the chassis
and keep that contact with the chassis during the installation process.
Procedures
Caution
Follow all precautions listed in the Quick-Start Guide that came with your
cloud client for disconnecting and reconnecting the cloud client.
1. Perform a proper shutdown of the cloud client by closing all files and ending your
session, and then press the power button to turn off the cloud client.
2. Unplug the power cord and power adapter, remove all of the cables from the rear of the
cloud client, and then detach any support feet.
3. Position the cloud client horizontally, remove the screw from the back of the cloud
client using a small Phillips screwdriver, and then use a plastic alignment tool to pry
and loosen the top cover as shown in Figure 1.

4. Lift the top cover to remove it and expose the main board as shown in Figure 2. Notice
that the rear of the cloud client is positioned at the bottom of the photo.
Warning
Flash modules may be susceptible to damage by Electro-Static Discharge
(ESD). All industry-standard cautions should be followed to avoid ESD.
Before you remove or install a module, touch any metal part of the chassis
and keep that contact with the chassis during the installation process.
5. Note where the connector of the flash module is located in Figure 2. Remove the
existing flash module. Use needle-nose pliers to squeeze the plastic standoff lock as
you rock the flash module back and forth to remove it from the socket.

4Installing Firmware
This chapter includes the requirements and procedures you need to install and use Wyse®
USB Firmware ToolTM to update your cloud client to the firmware you need.
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 a
configured USB key containing the firmware contents that you need, and
then boot from this configured USB key on appropriate product and flash size
devices to push the contents of the USB key onto these target devices
(containing your upgraded flash).
Requirements
• Machine running either Windows XP Professional SP3, Windows 2003 Server,
Windows 7 Enterprise (32-bit), or Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)
• USB key size should be 4 GB or larger (up to 16 GB tested—see "USB Keys -
Troubleshooting Boot Issues") depending on your needs.
Caution
During the USB key configuration process the USB key will be reformatted.

12 Chapter 4
Procedures
Complete the following procedures as an administrator (administrator privileges are
required).
Step 1: Download and Ready the Firmware You Require
You must download and ready (extract) the firmware you want to use for updating your
devices before you start the Wyse USB Firmware Tool wizard. Firmware files are normally
made available in .exe or .zip format and must be downloaded and then extracted to a
local hard drive folder that is available to the Wyse USB Firmware Tool wizard.
Wyse provides firmware for supported devices from its Software Downloads Web site at:
http://www.wyse.com/serviceandsupport/support/downloads.asp. Simply select the
firmware you need in the Product Downloads Active box, click Search, and use the Active
Firmware link you need.
Caution
For the Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit operating system, be sure to right-click
on the .exe file you downloaded (for example, the
11.1.015_R50LE_merlin.exe file for the Linux R50L/R50LE OS image) and
select the Run as administrator option to extract the files.
The following are examples of the Active Firmware links that you must use (names to
click) to download and extract the firmware to the local hard drive folder you want:
Tip
In some cases (for example, the C50LE and R50L/R50LE OS images, the
name of the link you need is WDM Image as the firmware image is for use
with Wyse Device Manager (WDM) and USB Firmware Tool deployment.
•C30LE Only - CE 6.0 Wyse WFR4 Build 666 for 128MB flash
•C50LE, R50L, and R50LE Only - WDM Image
•C90LE, R90L, and R90LE Only - XPE SP3 WFR3
•C90LEW Only - WES C90LEW Image
•R90LW and R90LEW Only - WES R90LW/R90LEW Image

Caution
It is not recommended to use your desktop for the destination directory as
there are several files that will be extracted from the .exe file.
3. Create a shortcut on the desktop for the Wyse USB Firmware Tool.exe file.
Step 3: Use Wyse USB Firmware Tool to Configure a Single USB Key to Install Firmware
1. Double-click the shortcut to run the tool and open the Wyse USB Firmware Tool wizard

10.Select the USB key onto which you want the configurations (you can use Refresh as
needed to recognize an inserted USB key), and then click Next. The progress bars
show the overall (formatting and configuration) progress and task progress.
11.After configuration, click Finish to close the wizard and then remove the configured
USB key for use (you will use the configured USB key on your target devices).
Caution
Before using any configured USB key on a target device (to push firmware),
you must configure the target device to boot from the configured USB key as
described in "Step 4: Use the Configured USB Key to Install Firmware on
Each Cloud Client."
Step 4: Use the Configured USB Key to Install Firmware on Each Cloud Client
On each cloud client you want to convert, use the one-time boot menu to configure it to
boot from the configured USB key (the one-time boot menu will not modify your default
BIOS configurations).
To enter and use the one-time boot menu:
1. Attach the configured USB key to the cloud client (be sure it is shut down and
disconnected from any network).
2. Power on the device while pressing and holding the Pkey during boot. When prompted
for a boot option, select the USB HDD option (displaying your USB key vendor name)
for your device (usually option 3 in the list of boot options) and press Enter.
3. Follow the process prompts.
Tip
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 yand press Enter). Once the push
process is complete, you will be prompted to reboot (to reboot, press Enter
and remove the USB key).
Caution
During the Critical Operation in Progress message, do not interrupt the
process.
Step 5: Verifying Cloud Client Operation
After the cloud client reboots, you can verify that your general client information (for
example, the System Information dialog box information) is correct. After verification, the
cloud client is ready for operation and setup by an administrator.
Tip
Administrator and other documentation for your cloud client model are
available at: http://www.wyse.com/manuals.
