We are testing some C50LE units for a kiosk deployment. At the moment when they are plugged in they do not automatically power on and require the power button to be pressed to turn on (a reasonable default).

Is there a setting somewhere that can have them automatically turn on when power is plugged in? I did not see anything but I am new to these units so I may have missed something.

Since we are planning to deploy at many remote locations in secure kiosk enclosures we’d like to ensure they will power on automatically in the case of a brownout or anything else that might cycle the power availability.

Thanks for any input.

Okay, I found it. I didn’t realize that these thin clients have BIOS settings similar to a regular PC and found it there.

To access this on the C50LE, hold the DELETE key on the keyboard at boot and you should be put into the BIOS. The default BIOS password is “Fireport” (case sensitive). From there go to Power Management and select the Always On mode. Save and exit.

Just what I needed.

Greetings! My name is Jim Lathan, and I am a nerd, Diginerd is what my friends know me as. I have been with Dell about 20 years serving in many roles; mostly Systems Engineer. My history with Wyse starts years before the Dell acquisition. Before the purchase of Wyse, I and a hand full of system engineers guided dell to desktop virtualization leading to Dell developing its first Thin Client. Having kickstarted the VDI strategy I moved to the Client Product Group where I co-launched Dells VDI-in-a-box and participated in the vetting of the thin client industry which led to Dell purchasing Wyse. Once the acquisition was completed, I moved back into a systems engineer role to help educate and promote the new Dell / Wyse solutions. Years later, I have been active in providing feedback and new product evaluations for Wyse and other VDI related solutions. I am also continuing to educate myself and build experiences with Citrix, VMware, Microsoft, and cloud-based solutions. So, what makes me a Diginerd? My other technical passions is Raspberry Pi’s, 3D printers, laser cutters, Ham radio, and I love to learn about technologies big and small, old and new. My hobbies include renovating Commodore 64s, old school electronics and learning Linux. I also enjoy camping and being with my family. I want to finish by thanking Thomas for a tremendous job of building Techincalhelp. I pledge to you all that I will give it my all and do my best to fill his shoes.
