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 Mellanox
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.
Firmware Update Example
