andbootorder.TheLenovoBIOSWMIinterfaceprovidesa

simplifiedwaytochangethesesettings.Lenovohasdevelopeda

BIOSinterfacethatcanbemanipulatedthroughWindows

ManagementInstrumentation(WMI).TheLenovoBIOSWMI

interfaceenablesITadministratorstomakequeriesoncurrent

BIOSsettings,restoresettingstotheirfactorydefaults,change

singlesettings,andmodifythebootordereitheratclient
