The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) BIOS is a part of the system programs that make up the<br />
basic layer of software built into your computer. UEFI BIOS translates the instructions from other software<br />
layers.<br />
Your computer system board has a module called electrically erasable programmable read-only memory<br />
(EEPROM, also referred to as flash memory). You can update UEFI BIOS and the Configuration/ThinkPad<br />
Setup Program by starting your computer with a flash update optical disc or .flash update tool application<br />
running on the Windwos environment.<br />
In some instances when you add software, hardware, or a device driver, you may be informed that you need<br />
to update your UEFI BIOS in order for the new addition to work properly.<br />
To update your UEFI BIOS, visit this Web site at<br />

Then follow the instructions on the screen.<br />
Using system management<br />
This section is intended primarily for network administrators.<br />
Your computer is designed for manageability, so that you can redirect more of your resources to better<br />
meet your business objectives.<br />
This manageability, or “Total Cost of Ownership” (TCO), enables you to remotely power on your computer,<br />
format the hard disk drive, install the software of your choice (for example, Windows XP with user and<br />
system-management applications), and have the computer start up and function in the same way as an<br />
ordinary desktop PC.<br />
