Updating NVMe Device Firmware#
The following instructions describe how to update the firmware on an NVMe device using the NVME-CLI
command-line interface. The nvme-cli tool is preinstalled on all DGX B300 systems.
Note
For the Micron 9550 Gen5 SSD, obtain the following firmware from an authorized Micron representative:
Micron_9550_F3MU090_release.ubi.enc.
List the devices and check the firmware versions.

From the output, you can find the device names and firmware versions.
Download the firmware for the NVMe device.
Based on the command output in step 1, determine the appropriate firmware file using the table provided and ensure the correct path is specified when downloading the firmware:
$ sudo nvme fw-download $DeviceName --fw=<firmware file>
For the Micron 9550 SSD,
$ sudo nvme fw-download /dev/nvmeX -f Micron_9550_F3MU090_release.ubi.enc
Commit and activate the downloaded firmware immediately without reset by setting the
actionargument to3and specifying firmware slot 2 using--slot=2.$ sudo nvme fw-commit $DeviceName --slot=2 --action=3
For the Micron 9550 SSD,
$ sudo nvme fw-commit /dev/nvmeX --slot=2 --action=3
Verify that the correct firmware version has been updated.
$ sudo nvme id-ctrl $DeviceName |grep fr
Example output:
$ sudo nvme id-ctrl /dev/nvmeX | grep fr fr : F3MU090 frmw : 0x17
