Safety for processor on Fujitsu Siemens Computers mainboards
If the processor uses an old or incorrect microcode, error-free operation cannot be ensured. Fujitsu
Siemens Computers has therefore implemented a function on its mainboards that interrupts the
booting process if no suitable microcode is available for the installed processor. The output error
message is
Patch for installed CPU not loaded. Please run the bios flash update
diskette.
This message appears until the microcode update has been carried out. If the computer is
nevertheless operated without a microcode update, error-free operation is not ensured.
When should a microcode update be carried out?
A microcode update should be carried out in the following cases:
Following installation of a new processor
When a new microcode update is issued.
In contrast to the BIOS update, only an updated version of the processor command set is stored.
The system BIOS remains unaffected by this.
