Sorry it says diagnostics, not calibration, but the way it behaves leads me to believe its doing some sort of calibration. If you boot up your thinkpad, get rid of your bios splash screen (esc), and tilt the thinkpad back and forth you will see something about IBM Active Protection diagnostics running and a spinner. If you keep tilting the notebook back and forth you can actually prevent the machine from booting because this will fail after a while. Normally you won't see it, I mainly notice it while in a train or car.
