instructions to download and install the latest UEFI BIOS update package.
Note: During the UEFI BIOS update process, Memory Reference Code (MRC) change might cause memory
retraining. Memory retraining is a process to initialize the memory module and run diagnostic tests for the
memory module in your computer. When memory retraining occurs, the screen can't display the progress
information and might be blank. You might see the LED indicators on ESC, F1, and F4 blinking sequentially
to indicate the progress. Do not press the power button to interrupt the process. Wait a few minutes until the
logo screen is displayed.
