Updating Adapter Firmware

Each adapter card is shipped with the latest version of qualified firmware at the time of manufacturing.

However, Mellanox 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 fromhttp://

www.mellanox.com> Products > Software > Firmware Tools.
