Microcode Policies

• The microcode for all system components will be checked for newer revisions monthly and implemented quarterly. If revisions are available, they will be considered for implementation during the next available outage for a system. Recommendations for microcode implementation will be recorded in the system log.
• IBM systems with release dates less than one year shall implement microcode as soon as possible after release.
• IBM systems with release dates greater than one year shall implement microcode no newer than three months.
