Firmware for the Nvidia HGX B300 NVL8 Partner-Cooled Baseboard Assembly - Non-Rollback Protected

Important Information
===================
- IMPORTANT: The system must be Powered ON for the firmware update to be applied.
- An AC REBOOT or Redfish initiated Virtual AC Power Cycle is required after completion for the firmware changes to take effect.
- Please review the Virtual AC options in the installation instructions
- Power Smoothing feature is not implemented or supported

Installation Instructions
=========================
Installation via iDRAC.
1. Download the file to a system with access to the IDRAC of the server you wish to update.
2. Log into the iDRAC of the server you wish to update.
3. Navigate to the System Update menu.
4. Click the Browse button and navigate to the downloaded file and select.
5. Click the check box next to the package at the bottom of the IDRAC menu.
6. Click the Update button in the iDRAC menu.

Initiating Virtual AC cycle from a remote host
==============================================
Step 1: Initiate a graceful shutdown. It can be implemented by the following Redfish curl command
curl -k -u ${username}:${pwd} -X POST https://${IDRAC_IP}/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Actions/ComputerSystem.Reset -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"ResetType":"GracefulShutdown"}'

example: curl -k -u root:calvin -X POST https://10.0.0.10/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Actions/ComputerSystem.Reset -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"ResetType":"GracefulShutdown"}'


Step 2: Initiate a virtual power cycle execution by the following Redfish curl command

curl -k -u ${username}:${pwd} -X POST https://${IDRAC_IP}/redfish/v1/Chassis/System.Embedded.1/Actions/Chassis.Reset -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"ResetType": "PowerCycle", "FinalPowerState": "On"}'

example: curl -k -u root:calvin -X POST https://10.0.0.10/redfish/v1/Chassis/System.Embedded.1/Actions/Chassis.Reset -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"ResetType": "PowerCycle", "FinalPowerState": "On"}'

Single Redfish command implementation:

curl -k -u ${username}:${pwd} -X POST https://${IDRAC_IP}/redfish/v1/Chassis/System.Embedded.1/Actions/Chassis.Reset -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"ResetType":"FullPowerCycle"}'

example: curl -k -u root:calvin -X POST https://10.0.0.10/redfish/v1/Chassis/System.Embedded.1/Actions/Chassis.Reset -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"ResetType":"FullPowerCycle"}'


Note: Invoking a Virtual AC cycle through BIOS Full Power Cycle may not activate all GPU assembly firmware components.
