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
> Products > Software > Firmware Tools.
