UPDATING FIRMWARE
This section provides instructions for updating firmware for the NVIDIA® DGX server
BIOS and BMC using a Docker container.
GENERAL FIRMWARE UPDATE GUIDELINES
 Before updating the firmware, do the following to prevent corrupting the firmware
due to a system crash or disruption to the update process.
● Ensure the system is healthy
● Stop system activities
 Do not terminate the firmware update console while updating the firmware.
Component firmware corruption may occur if the update process is interrupted.
 Certain components, such as the system BIOS, require a system reboot for the new
firmware to take effect.
Reboot the system if prompted.
 When updating the BMC firmware, system management services are shut down first
to allow the update to occur. Consequently, system management is not available
during the BMC update.
 In the event of a firmware update failure, run nvsm dump health and then send
the resulting archive containing the output to NVIDIA Enterprise Support
(https://nvid.nvidia.com/dashboard/
) for failure analysis.
Do not attempt any further firmware updates until the issue is resolved or cleared
by NVIDIA Enterprise Support.
