5 Updating Adapter Card Firmware
Each 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, down-
load 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
5.1
