Error Severity System Action
Processor microcode update
missing
Minor
The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
Logs the POST Error Code into the SEL.
Displays “
818x: Processor 0x microcode update not found
” message in the Error
Manager or on the screen.
The system continues to boot in a degraded state, regardless of the setting of POST
Error Pause in the Setup.
3.5 Processor Function Overview
The Intel ® Xeon ® processor E5-2600 v3, v4 product family combines several key system components into a
single processor package, including the CPU cores, Integrated Memory Controller (IMC), and Integrated IO
Module (IIO). In addition, each processor package includes two Intel ® QuickPath Interconnect point-to-point
links capable of up to 9.6 GT/s, up to 40 lanes of PCI express** 3.0 links capable of 8.0 GT/s, and 4 lanes of
DMI2/PCI express** 2.0 interface with a peak transfer rate of 4.0 GT/s. The processor supports up to 46 bits of
physical address space and 48 bits of virtual address space.
The following sections will provide an overview of the key processor features and functions that help to
define the architecture, performance, and supported functionality of the server board. Available features
may vary between different processor models.
