Updating Embedded Controller Program
------------------------------------
NOTES:
- As written on LCCM Compatibility and Configuration Guide, remove the
  Power-on password prior to updating Embedded Controller Program
  in LCCM (LANClient Control Manager) or similar environment.
- You need an AC adapter and a charged battery pack to update the
  Embedded Controller Program.
- If your computer is attached to any kind of port replicator, turn
  off the computer and detach it before proceeding.
  (Except the ThinkPad UltraBase X3 option. You can attach the option
  and use the diskette drive option in it.)
- Make sure the Embedded Controller Program Service Diskette is
  write-protected.

 1. Print these instructions or display on another computer.
 2. Firmly connect the AC adapter to the computer.
 3. Insert the write protected Embedded Controller Program Service
    Diskette into the diskette drive and turn on the computer.
 4. Select Read this first from the menu and carefully read the
    information that appears.
 5. Press the Esc key to return to the menu.
 6. Select Update Embedded Controller Program and follow the
    instruction on the screen.

    NOTE:
    If you are updating the Embedded Controller Program through the
    external diskette drive (USB type, not the diskette drive in the
    ThinkPad UltraBase X3), it will take quite a long time to complete
    reading the Embedded Controller Program file, but it is normal.
    Continue the update.

    Warning:
    Do not turn off or suspend the computer until the update has
    been completed. IF YOU TURN OFF OR SUSPEND THE COMPUTER WHILE
    THE UPDATE IS STILL IN PROGRESS, THE SYSTEM BOARD MAY HAVE TO
    BE REPLACED.

After the update has been completed, the system is automatically
turned off.
