SYMPTOM:

AFFECTED SYSTEMS:
ThinkPad Helix

SYSTEM IS CONFIGURED WITH:

McAfee and Lenovo have jointly tested the Helix platform using both the UEFI and Keyboard firmware (1.14) in conjunction with McAfee EEPC 7.0 Patch
1 HF 882104.

The results of our joint testing were positive and show the platform to be working correctly. McAfee recommends that Helix and EEPC users perform the firmware upgrades and obtain EEPC 7.0 Patch 1 HF 882104 or wait for EEPC
7.0 Patch 2 to be released.
