    Hi,

    I am trying to enter WLOADER in T10.

    Admin Guide says: ” to access the
    WLOADER on an ARM platform, press the power button for about 4 seconds until the power light
    turns green, and then press the Delete key”, however, I was not able to enter WLOADER mode in this way, the device just restarts during booting when I press Del.

    Anyone was successful in entering WLOADER in T10?

    Regards,

    What do you want to do in the WLOADER?

    Hi CG,

    Mainly just see what settings are available there, as it says in documentation it should be possible enter WLOADER.
    Also, I try to see if it is possible to amend power saving settings, they seem to cause some issues with peripherals in my environment.

    Regards,

    I just tried it on my T10D and it worked perfectly fine.
    What I’ve seen in the past is, that you have to use a Dell or Wyse keyboard.

    Here are the steps I’ve done:
    – unplug power
    – press and hold power button
    – plug in power
    – directly press and hold the “Del” key
    – a pop-up comes up asking me for a password
    – entered “Fireport”
    – done

    However, as the WLOADER is no real BIOS equivalant, there is not much to do. And you should not change anything here.

    Unfortunately I was not able to enter WLOADER in my T10, while it was possible in T10D, strange:) Thanks for your help anyway.
