     DESTINATION: Web, Factory
     Operating System: Independent
     Products: Grantsdale 786Cx ROM Family
 
     Notes:

            - This ROMPAQ operates in the same manor as the System ROM ROMPAQ, with the 
                        exception that the microcode ROMPAQ does not make a backup of the
                        existing microcode on the system.

            - The Microcode Update ROMPAQ will only update the processor microcode, stored 
            	in the System BIOS, if the processor configuration requires it and the 
            	utility has the appropriate microcode.  The two reasons that the microcode 
            	could need to be updated is when a new processor was installed in the 
            	system or the Microcode Update ROMPAQ contains a later version of the 
            	microcode for the currently installed processor.  The correct operation 
            	of this utility is the identification of the system processor, then update 
            	the System BIOS microcode if necessary, and successful completion .  If the 
            	ROMPAQ determines that the System BIOS microcode does not require updating 
            	or if the microcode versions contained in the ROMPAQ are not applicable 
            	to the system processor, the utility will complete successfully.  The 
            	only reasons that the Microcode Update ROMPAQ would indicate an error is 
            	if a failure occurred while the System BIOS microcode was being updated or 
            	this version of the Microcode Update ROMPAQ in not supported on the system.
