Updating your system UEFI BIOS

The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (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: http://www.lenovo.com/ThinkPadDrivers

Using system management

This section is intended primarily for network administrators.

Your computer is designed for manageability, so that you can redirect more of your resources to better meet your business objectives.

This manageability, or “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 solid-state drive, and installing software.

Once the computer is configured and operational, you can manage it by use of software and manageability features already integrated into the client system and the network.

Desktop Management Interface

The system BIOS (UEFI BIOS) of your computer supports an interface called System Management BIOS Reference Specification (SMBIOS) V2.6.1. SMBIOS provides information about the hardware components of your system. It is the responsibility of the BIOS to supply this database with information about itself and the devices on the system board. This specification documents the standards for getting access to this BIOS information.

Preboot eXecution Environment

The Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) technology makes your computer more manageable (it is PXE 2.1-compliant) by enabling it to boot (load an operating system or another executable image) from a server. Your computer supports the personal computer functions that PXE requires. For example, with the appropriate LAN card, your computer can be booted from the PXE server.

Note: Remote Program Load (RPL) cannot be used with your computer.

Asset ID EEPROM

The Asset ID EEPROM contains information about the system, including its configuration and the serial numbers of key components. It also includes a number of blank fields in which you can record information about the end users in your network.
