f). Press Enter.
The DGX A100 system will reboot from ISO image and proceed to install the image. This can
take approximately 15 minutes.
Note: The Mellanox InfiniBand driver installation can take up to 30 minutes, depending on how
many cards undergo a firmware update.
After the installation is completed, the system ejects the virtual CD and then reboots into the
OS.
Refer to First Boot Setup for the steps to take when booting up the DGX A100 system for the
first time after a fresh installation.
9.2.3. Creating a Bootable Installation Medium
After obtaining an ISO file that contains the DGX OS Server software image from NVIDIA
Enterprise Support, create a bootable installation medium, such as a USB flash drive or DVD-
ROM, that contains the image.
Note: If you are restoring the software image remotely through the BMC, you do not need a
bootable installation medium and you can omit this task.
‣
If you are creating a bootable USB flash drive, follow the instructions for the platform that
you are using:
‣
On Windows, see Creating a Bootable USB Flash Drive by Using Akeo Rufus.
‣
If you are creating a bootable DVD-ROM, you can use any of the methods
described in Burning the ISO on to a DVD (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/
BurningIsoHowto#Burning_the_ISO_on_to_a_DVD) on the Ubuntu Community Help Wiki.
Note: The ISO file that contains software image for some DGX OS Server releases is
greater than the 4.7 GB capacity of a single-layer DVD-ROM. You cannot install these
releases from a bootable DVD-ROM because installation of DGX OS Server from a dual-
layer DVD-ROM is not supported. Check the size of the ISO file that contains the DGX OS
Server software image before creating a bootable DVD-ROM.
