I definitely made sure I powered my system off the first time: I have both a Nova-T 500 PCI card and a USB2 Nova-T. With the USB device, a reload can be forced by unplugging it during a reboot: the PCI one will, no doubt, need a full power down for a reload to happen. I did ask on here a while back whether it was possible to force a device to reload its firmware without powering down but got no response. I don't think it's possible at present.
