XL710-BM1 NVM Recovery Mode

I had a problem when I updated XL710-BM1 NVM with firmware XL710_8p40_KR_KR4_NCSI_CFGID2p0_Single.

There is a XL710-BM1 on my PCIe card.  The XL710 connects with external ethernet 40G port by backplane KR4. After updating NVM and reboot, the XL710 entered recovery mode.

I tried all NVM BIN files in 700 series V8.40 nvm update package, but only three  bin files can make XL710 startup without recovery mode. The three bin files are  XL710QDA2_8p40_CFGID4p5_K15190, XL710QDA2_8p40_CFGID4p5_OEMGEN, XL710QDA2_8p40_CFGID4p5_OEMGEN.

I want to figure out the reason that XL710-BM1 enter recovery mode and what should be concerned when updating NVM.
