2. Connect the power cable to the system in the slot labeled (1) in the IO and External Interfaces
section above.

Switching between iGPU and dGPU
2.2 Flashing and Updating the Clara AGX Developer Kit using SDK
Manager
Detailed instructions on how to use SDK Manager for component updates for Clara AGX are available
here. Ensure you have the latest version of SDKmanager installed on the host system.
Your account needs to be approved for the Clara AGX SDK Early Access program for SDKmanager to
be able to flash Clara AGX. Reach out to your main Clara AGX contact at NVIDIA after you apply to be
approved. You will need to log out and log in again on SDKmanager for the permissions to take effect.
The default username and password after flashing are "ubuntu" / "ubuntu".
2.3 Switching between iGPU and dGPU
The Clara AGX Developer Kit can use either the Xavier AGX module GPU (iGPU, integrated GPU) or
the RTX6000 add-in card GPU (dGPU, discrete GPU). You can only use one type of GPU at a time.
By default, the Clara AGX Developer Kit uses the iGPU. To switch between the iGPU and dGPU, use the
"nvgpuswitch.py" script that is included with the clara-agx-tools package (installed by SDK Manager
with the Clara AGX SDK, located in /opt/nvidia/clara-agx-sdk/clara-agx-tools/
bin).
To view the currently installed drivers and their versions, use the following query command:
