Using a BIOS as a reference /Fujitsu

As an alternative to updating the BIOS configuration via user-defined commands in multiple steps, you can copy the BIOS from a fully configured client and transfer it to other devices within the same model series.

The following procedure applies to Fujitsu devices within the same Futro model series.

1. For the configured device (reference client), open the context menu and click Commands > User-defined command.
   

2. Enter the following command:
   /opt/deskview/bin/deskflash -ar -d /setup/public

3. Select Run with system rights.
   

   
   

4. Click Execute.

   The BIOS is saved to a .bup file in the local directory /setup/public of your Futro client.

5. Copy the .bup file to a USB stick or use the Diagnostics feature to save it on the stick.

6. Make sure that the relevant vendor-specific directory exists within the UC_BIOS container on the web server. For further information, see Providing new BIOS firmware.

7. Copy the .bup file from the USB stick to the relevant subdirectory on the web server. Example: UC_BIOS/D3313-A1 for device type D3313-A1.

8. For your target devices, perform a BIOS update.For further information, see BIOS update for devices without UEFI
