(Configuration Scheme 1, Optional) Upgrading the NVMe Firmware

This section is required only when hardware configuration scheme 1 is used and the hardware decoding function of the encoding card needs to be enabled. If hardware decoding is not required, skip this section.

Before deploying the environment, check the NVMe firmware version by checking whether the codec card is correctly identified by the NVMe driver. If the version is different from that provided in this section, upgrade the firmware.

1. Check whether the codec card is correctly identified by the NVMe driver.

   If the following information is displayed, the codec card is correctly identified. The command output is only an example.

   Node SN Model Namespace Usage Format FW Rev ------------- -------------------- ---------------- --------- ------------------------ ---------------- -------- /dev/nvme0n1 Q2A325A11DC082-0454A QuadraT2A 1 8.59 TB / 8.59 TB 4 KiB + 0 B 4866rKr1 /dev/nvme1n1 Q2A325A11DC082-0454B QuadraT2A 1 8.59 TB / 8.59 TB 4 KiB + 0 B 4866rKr1

   If the firmware version (the FW Rev column) is not 4866rKr1, refer to the following steps to upgrade the encoding card firmware.

   

   About the NVMe firmware version: The larger the numbers and the later the letters, the newer the version.

2. Optional: Extract the 4.8.F-scale firmware upgrade package from Quadra_VXXX.zip (XXX indicates the version number. Use the actual package name in the following commands) and upgrade the firmware.

   unzip Quadra_VXXX.zip cd Quadra_VXXX/ tar -zxvf Quadra_FW_VXXX.tar.gz cd Quadra_FW_VXXX/ chmod +x quadra_auto_upgrade.sh ./quadra_auto_upgrade.sh

   The upgrade takes about 1 minute.

3. Optional: After the upgrade is complete, reboot the system for the upgrade to take effect.
