What is a processor microcode update SoftPaq and how is
it used?
Typical processors download code from the BIOS during initialization referred to as microcode. If a
new, supported processor is installed in the Business PC that requires a microcode currently not
adequately provided by the BIOS, the BIOS issues a POST warning: 1801-Microcode Update Error.
To add this microcode to the BIOS, a processor microcode SoftPaq is provided to update the BIOS.
Processor microcode changes can be updated in the BIOS without having to change the entire BIOS.
Binary file microcode image is uXX_MMmm.bin, where the u indicates microcode, XX is the general
BIOS family, MM is major version, and mm is the minor version. Microcode updates can only be
accomplished by using Flashbin.exe utility.
Microcode update images are offered for the general BIOS family and can be applied to any
particular BIOS of that family. For example, microcode image u7D_0101.bin can be applied to any
BIOS in the 786D family such as 786D1 or 786D2. Minor version numbers are incremented to
indicate minimal changes to the microcode typically involving an updated version of a previous
released microcode. Major version number changes indicate a greater degree of change to the
microcode source, such as the addition of a new processor microcode.
