Connectx-5 25gb $50usd

[AK360]

@AK360 what is the original firmware on these?

I just got one of mine auto-updated by MLX CX5 EN Driver for windows but i didnt check it before installing the driver...

Mine are on 16.23 and windows drivers have never updated them. Think latest is something like 16.30?

I was able to force over to latest nvidia.
fw-ConnectX5-rel-16_32_1010-MCX512F-ACA_Ax_Bx-UEFI-14.25.17-FlexBoot-3.6.502.bin
havent tested 25gig though. 10g works

if no jumper make your own on jp2 otherwise the firmware fails (hpe cards dont have pins). card will show up as a pci memory controller with the pins jumpered..once flashed power down system and remove jumper. the card on next boot will be changed and show up properly as non hp and as a connectx 5

example command line below.

C:\Program Files\Mellanox\WinMFT>flint -d mt525_pciconf0 -i fw-ConnectX5-rel-16_32_1010-MCX512F-ACA_Ax_Bx-UEFI-14.25.17-FlexBoot-3.6.502.bin -allow_psid_change burn

You are about to replace current PSID on flash - "HPE0000000039" with a different PSID - "MT_0000000183".
Note: It is highly recommended not to change the PSID.

Do you want to continue ? (y/n) [n] : y
