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
