Update Both NVM and Driver Simultaneously
Using the Intel NVM Update Package is the recommended way to update the NVM image. The NVM Update tool
also asks about creating a backup copy before the update occurs, which is recommended.
Note
that selecting the
wrong image through the driver boot option tab to update may cause issues.
Keeping up with software changes, performance enhancements, or security updates requires the most current
hardware drivers for supported systems. Previous updates to Intel network drivers were driver specific.
Currently, both the firmware (device NVM image) and network drivers are field-serviceable, allowing the NVM
image and network driver to be updated as a matched set. Updating the device image and the driver together
can increase numerous key features.
Note
: Updating to the most current NVM (with the NVM Update Package) and driver does not update the Option
ROM. Intel recommends an Option ROM update after the NVM and driver are updated.
Note
: When running SR-IOV, it is recommended that all Virtual Functions be disabled before the NVM Update
process.
