Updating your system UEFI BIOS
The Unied Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) BIOS is a part of the system programs that make up the
basic layer of software built into your computer. UEFI BIOS translates the instructions from other software
layers.
Your computer system board has a module called electrically erasable programmable read-only memory
(EEPROM, also referred to as ash memory). You can update UEFI BIOS and the Conguration/ThinkPad
Setup Program by starting your computer with a ash update tool application running on the Windows
environment.
In some instances when you add software, hardware, or a device driver, you may 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:

This manageability, or “Total Cost of Ownership” (TCO), enables you to remotely power on your computer,
format the hard disk drive, install the software of your choice , and have the computer start up and function
in the same way as an ordinary desktop PC.
Once the computer is congured and operational, you can manage it by use of software and manageability
features already integrated into the client system and the network.
