BIOS setup

This section provides instructions on how to update the BIOS and how to recover from a POST and BIOS update failure.

System program is the basic layer of software built into your server. System program includes the POST, the UEFI BIOS, and the System Setup Utility. The POST is a set of tests and procedures that are performed each time you turn on your server. The UEFI BIOS is a layer of software that translates instructions from other layers of software into electrical signals that the server hardware can execute. You can use the System Setup Utility to view or change the configuration settings of your server, see System configuration and boot management.

Lenovo might make changes and enhancements to the BIOS and TSM firmware. When updates are released, they are available for download on the Lenovo Web site at https://datacentersupport.lenovo.com. You can update the server firmware by downloading an update package and following the instructions on the Web page.

You also can use the Firmware Updater program to help you keep the server firmware up-to-date.
