Updating Adapter
Firmware
Each adapter card is shipped with the latest version of qualified firmware at the time of
manufacturing. However, NVIDIA issues firmware updates occasionally that provide new
features and bug fixes. To check that your card is programmed with the latest available
firmware version, download the mlxup firmware update and query utility. The utility can
query for available NVIDIA adapters and indicate which adapters require a firmware
update. If the user confirms, mlxup upgrades the firmware using embedded images. The
latest mlxup executable and documentation are available in mlxup - Update and Query
Utility .
