BIOS firmware for the Lenovo ThinkPad E550 and E550C on the AITE1 mainboard, board number NM-A221 revision 1.0, packed in a 3.68 MB RAR archive. NM-xxxx numbers follow the Compal numbering scheme used for LCFC-built Lenovo boards. The dump is written to the SPI flash with an external programmer to recover a board that fails to start after a corrupted update. Confirm NM-A221 and the revision on the PCB, save a copy of the original chip first, and check the image fits the chip size.
