This package updates the basic input/output system (BIOS) on ThinkCentre M57 (type 6393, 6394, 6395) / ThinkCentre M57p (type 6395, 6397) and Secure Managed Client (type 8332) systems.
BIOS is programming that controls low-level hardware operations, including interactions with diskette drives, hard drives, and the keyboard. The BIOS is stored on a chip. Your computer uses flash BIOS, which can be updated through a program on a flash diskette so that you do not have to replace the BIOS chip to update the BIOS.
Note: Make note of any settings you have changed in the BIOS Configuration Utility. These settings may have to be re-entered after updating the BIOS.
In most instances, you will need only one of the listed exe or iso files.
If you prefer to update your BIOS from within Windows, download 54jy23usa.exe.
If you prefer to create a diskette to update your BIOS, download both 54jt23a.exeand 54j223a.exe .
If you prefer to create a bootable CD to update your BIOS, download 54j923a.iso.
