You can update the BMC remotely using the IPMI port. Applications can be left running.

and click the Announcements tab to locate the DGX-1 software image archive.

Open a Java-enabled web browser within your LAN and go to http://<IPMI IP

If the BMC is connected to a network via DHCP, the IP address could change after
the update. Follow these substeps to obtain the MAC address in order to connect to
the BMC after the update, in case the IP address changes. You can skip these steps if
a static IP is used.
