Flash BIOS update - Flash from Operating System version for ThinkCentre Edge 71z and ThinkCentre M71z Version 9PKT28A Installation README This package updates the basic input/output system (BIOS) on all ThinkCentre Edge 71z and ThinkCentre M71z. BIOS is programming that controls low-level hardware operations, including interactions with diskette drives, hard disk 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. Do not write protect the flash diskette as this may cause the flash process to hang. Print this file so that you can refer to it during the installation.
