Appendix A.
Air-Gapped DGX 100 Systems
For security purposes, some installations require that systems be isolated from the internet or
outside networks. Since most DGX A100 software updates are accomplished through an over-
the-network process with NVIDIA servers, this section explains how updates can be made
when using an over-the-network method is not an option. It includes a process for installing
Docker containers as well.
A.1 Installing NVIDIA DGX A100 Software
One method for updating DGX A100 software on an air-gapped DGX A100 system is to
download the ISO image, copy it to removable media and then re-image the DGX A100 System
from the media. This method is available only for software versions that are available as ISO
images for download.
Alternately, you can update the DGX A100 software by performing a network update from a
local repository. This method is available only for software versions that are available for over-
the- network updates.
A.2 Re-imaging the System
!
CAUTION: This process destroys all data and software customizations that you have made on the
DGX A100 System. Be sure to back up any data that you want to preserve and push any Docker
images that you want to keep to a trusted registry.
Obtain the ISO image from the NVIDIA Enterprise Services.
