Applying UXSPs updates with the UpdateXpress application

Users can use the UpdateXpress application to apply UXSP updates to their machine. The UpdateXpress application inventories the machine on which the update will be applied, queries a specified location for a list of applicable update packages, compares the inventory to the applicable update list, recommends a set of updates to apply, and then deploys those updates to the machine.

To apply UXSPs through the UpdateXpress application, do the following:
  1. Download the UpdateXpress application from the Lenovo Support Web site.
  2. Run the UpdateXpress application. Select Update the local machine or Update a remote machine.
  3. Select Check the Lenovo Support Web site.
  4. Select UpdateXpress application System Packs (UXSPs).

Users also can download the updates directly from the Lenovo Support Web site. Remember to download the update payload as well as the XML file. For convenience, choose the same destination folder for each UXSP download. Users can download multiple system packs for different machine types to the same folder. When users run the UpdateXpress application, it detects the machine type and uses the correct content for that machine type. In some cases, there might be common files between system packs. Common files that are already in the folder will not be downloaded again. Therefore, the overall download time is reduced.
