In this section
Note: This section only applies to NT200A02-2x40/8x10 SmartNICs with FM images.
Default image
By default the SmartNIC runs on the image in bank 0, which is the 2 × 40 Gbit/s image.
This is an example of an output from a --query command on a SmartNIC in default
mode.

Switching to 8 × 10 Gbit/s operation
The NT200A02-2x40/8x10 SmartNIC can be switched from 2 × 40 Gbit/s operation to 8 × 10 Gbit/s
operation as shown in this
example:
$ imgctrl --adapter 0 --switch $ imgctrl --adapter 0 --switch --confirm
The --switch command forces the SmartNIC to run on the 8 × 10 Gbit/s image. The --switch --confirm command changes the primary image to the running image, that is the 8 × 10 Gbit/s image in image bank 1.
This is an example of an output from a --query command after the
--switch command
above.
