When you install a new program, a device driver, or hardware, you might be informed to update the UEFI BIOS. For instructions on how to update the UEFI BIOS, go to: http://www.lenovo.com/ThinkPadDrivers Using system management This topic is primarily intended for the network administrators. Your computer is designed for manageability, so that you can redirect more resources to better meet your business objectives. This manageability, known as 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 or solid-state drive, and installing a program. Once the computer is configured and operational, you can manage it by using the software and the manageability features that are already integrated into the client computer and the network.
