Most of the Thinkpads use F1 to get into bios.
When the TP is off, press F1 and power up while keeping F1 depressed. Release F1 only after you see the bios screen.
All IBM's have the type-model number somewhere, usually on the same label that has a small barcode. Look for something like 8640-2d0, 9545-cex or 2640-tfw then go to the IBM support site. There is a small search box that you type in the number, you'll find all kinds of goodies there including the full Hardware Maintenance Manuals and bios upgrades.
