3.3 Updating Card Firmware
Each card is shipped with the latest version of qualified firmware at the time of manufacturing.
Firmware is updated occasionally, and the most recent firmware can be obtained from:
http://www.mellanox.com =>Support > Download Center. Check that the firmware on your card is
the latest found on the Mellanox site, if not update to the latest version found on the Mellanox
website.
Firmware can be updated on the stand alone single card using the flint tool of the Mellanox Firm-
ware Tools (MFT) package. This package is available for download, along with its user manual,
from the Mellanox Firmware Tools page. See http://www.mellanox.com => Support > Download
Center.
A firmware binaries table lists a binary file per adapter card. The file name of each such binary is
composed by combining the firmware name, the firmware release version, and the card part num-
ber. Please contact Mellanox system support if you cannot find the firmware binary for your
adapter card.
To check the latest firmware:
1. Go to Mellanox web site to check current firmware version.
