BIOS .rar 4.78 MB Shared

Firmware archive for the Lenovo ThinkPad T430, a 4.78 MB RAR whose name gives no board revision, BIOS version or graphics option. Inspect the contents before use, since the T430 exists with integrated and discrete graphics. Such an image is written to the SPI BIOS chip with a programmer like a CH341A to recover a board after a failed update. Back up the original chip first, because ThinkPad firmware holds serial and board data, and confirm that the image size matches the capacity of the chip on your board.

The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @biosarchive. Enginerys does not host this file.
