• Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager
From Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager, you can update the Lenovo XClarity Controller firmware, the
UEFI firmware, and the Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager software.
Note: By default, the Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager Graphical User Interface is displayed when
you start the server and press the key specified in the on-screen instructions. If you have changed that
default to be the text-based system setup, you can bring up the Graphical User Interface from the text-
based system setup interface.
