Updating your system UEFI BIOS

The UEFI BIOS is a part of the system programs that make up the basic layer of software built into your
computer. The UEFI BIOS translates the instructions from other software layers.
Your computer system board has a module called EEPROM, also referred to as flash memory. You can
update the UEFI BIOS and the ThinkPad Setup program by starting your computer with a flash update
optical disc or flash update program running in the Windows environment.
In some instances when you add software, hardware, or a device driver, you might be informed that you
need to update your UEFI BIOS in order for the new addition to work properly.
To update your UEFI BIOS, go to the following Web site and follow the instructions on the screen:

Using system management

This topic is primarily intended for the network administrators.
Your computer is designed for manageability, so that you can redirect more resources to better meet
your business objectives.
This manageability, known as Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), enables you to remotely operate client
computers in the same way as you operate your own computer, such as turning on a client computer,
formatting a hard disk drive, and installing a program.
Once the computer is configured and operational, you can manage it by using the software and the
manageability features that are already integrated into the client computer and the network.
