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:

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
hard disk 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.

Wake on LAN
A network administrator can use Wake on LAN to turn on a computer from a management console.
When Wake on LAN is used with network management software, many functions, such as data transfer,
software updates, and Flash updates of UEFI BIOS, can be performed remotely without remote attendance.
This updating process can be done after normal working hours and on weekends, to save time and increase
productivity. Users are not interrupted during normal working hours, and LAN traffic is kept to a minimum.
If a computer is turned on by the Wake on LAN function, the Network Boot sequence is used.
Setting management features
To enable the network administrator to control your computer remotely, you must configure the network
interface by setting the system-management features in the ThinkPad Setup program. You can configure
the following functions in the program:
