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 application 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: 128 User Guide 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 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 configured and operational, you can manage it by use of software and manageability features already integrated into the client system and the network. System management Read this topic to learn more about features of system management. Desktop Management Interface The system 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: The Remote Initial Program Load (RPL) function cannot be used with your computer. 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. 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. 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: Chapter 8. Advanced configuration 129 • Wake on LAN • Network Boot sequence • Flash update If an administrator password (supervisor password) has been set, you will need to specify it when you start ThinkPad Setup to use these functions. Wake on LAN When the Wake on LAN feature is enabled on a computer that is connected to a LAN, a network administrator can start the computer remotely from a management console, using remote network-management software. When your computer is not under the network administrator's system management, you can disable Wake on LAN. To enable or disable Wake on LAN, do the following: 1. Start ThinkPad Setup. 2. Select Config. The Config submenu is displayed. 3. Select Network. The Network item submenu is displayed. 4. For Wake On LAN, select one of the following: AC Only, AC and Battery, or Disabled. 5. Press F10 to save changes and exit. Network Boot sequence When your computer is turned on remotely, the system will try to boot from the device that is specified in the Network Boot setting, and then follow the boot order list on the Boot menu. To define a sequence, do the following: 1. On the the ThinkPad Setup program menu, select Boot. The Boot submenu is displayed. 2. Select Network Boot and press the Enter key. The boot device list is displayed. 3. Select a boot device from the list to make it as the top boot priority. 4. Press F10 to save changes and exit. Note: If you want to initialize the setting to return to the default startup sequence, press F9. The de...
