LC3 - Missing Microcode Error

[nibble]

hi guys,
i have here an LC3-dual Processor (PII-405) box and i got this error everytime we boot it up:

0B01-0A-Missing Microcode Update Data Block for PII CPU

we have already replaced the motherboard twice and even updated the bios to a later version.

any advise please? thanks...

Hi Nibble,
the stepping of processors in a system should be the same or only differ one step. I had a problem before and got a microcode error, too.

Hi Nibble,
you can see the steppings of your processors on the right site of the summary screen after the POST; shortly before your OS boots.

last thing tobias,

where can i SET the steppings?

Nibble,

The steppings cannot be SET. They correspond to the revision of the product - it's a function of the way the chips are manufactured.

Regards,

Dave
