• 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 press F1. 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.
Additional information about using Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager to update firmware, see:
“Firmware Update” section in the LXPM documentation compatible with your server at

server.
