Thinkpad P50-XEON CPU E3 Build-in-BP500 NM-A451

BIOS .rar 7.96 MB Shared

BIOS image for a Lenovo ThinkPad P50 with a built-in Xeon E3 CPU, board BP500, LCFC NM-A451, in a 7.96 MB RAR. Xeon P50 builds use different processor support, so this file suits Xeon systems rather than Core i5 or i7 units. LCFC follows the NM-xxxx board numbering for Lenovo. Back up the original SPI chip before flashing to keep serial and board data. Check the image size against the flash chip and verify the write afterwards.
