ThinManage 3.1 Administration Manual
Applying a Disk Image to a Terminal
1. From the table of inventoried Terminals, right-click a terminal you want to re-image, and select Image ->
Apply to Terminal. To re-image more that one terminal at a time, hold down the <Ctrl> key while selecting
other rows, or use the <Shift> key to select a range of terminals.
2. From the Image Name dropdown list on the details pane, select the image file you want to apply.
3. Click the OK button to begin the re-imaging process.
4. The thin client will reboot and begin re-imaging its flash media with the selected image. This re-imaging process
may take ~20-40 minutes, depending on the size of the image and network traffic. During this time, there is no
agent to heartbeat into the ThinManage server, and therefore the timestamp in the Last Contact field will remain
unchanged. Once the re-image is complete and the thin client does its final reboot, the agent will heartbeat into
the server, which in turn, updates the Last Contact field. This update to the current time in the Last Contact field is
your cue that the re-imaging process is complete.

Important Note: When applying disk images to your thin clients, be sure you are using the correct image for that
particular model, otherwise you may render that terminal unbootable. For example, cloning a TC5 with a Safebook
LVO image will not work.
