Solved: Intel X710-T2L NVM Update to 7.3 Failing - Page 2

Reuben_Farrelly · ‎05-20-2020

An update to the X710 series products was released about 5 days ago (drivers 25.1 and NVM 7.3), and I've upgraded all of the drivers succesfully on my systems that have Intel cards.

There is also an NVM upgrade for these cards to bring them to NVM version 7.3, but one card (my X710-T2L) is refusing to update.

The message when upgrading is:

PS C:\Users\reuben\Desktop\700Series\Winx64> .\nvmupdatew64e.exe

Intel(R) Ethernet NVM Update Tool

NVMUpdate version 1.35.23.3

My other X710 cards (not T2L's though) have upgraded succesfully.

Can Intel Support advise why this might be the case? We know that the firmware that was released is newer than that which is installed on the card yet it still won't upgrade?

The card is validated as genuine and has the sticker on it with the unique number so I'm convinced this is not a pre-release version of the card.

Don't change the EEPID (That is the new ETID), add your card ETrack ID in the "REPLACES" section (This is where the ETID of cards to be updated goes), either add yours after a space from the last entry or replace an entry. Then flash, it will work.

FYI I have the same card and ran into the same 7.3 nvm update issue as you. I also chose the same T2L binary as you selected above, it worked for me so you should be good to go.
