Installing Drivers to Support the NVIDIA GPU Cards
After you install the hardware, you must update to the correct level of server BIOS, activate the BIOS firmware,
and then install NVIDIA drivers and other software in this order:
1. Updating the Server BIOS Firmware
Install the latest Cisco server BIOS for your blade server by using Cisco UCS Manager.
You must do this procedure before you update the NVIDIA drivers.Note
Do not remove the hardware that contains the endpoint or perform any maintenance on it until the update
process completes. If the hardware is removed or otherwise unavailable due to maintenance, the firmware
update fails. This failure might corrupt the backup partition. You cannot update the firmware on an endpoint
with a corrupted backup partition.
