UEFI Settings#
This topic provides guidance on accessing and configuring the UEFI settings for the DGX Spark system. While there are no Spark-specific features that require UEFI configuration, you may need to access the UEFI for general system configuration or troubleshooting purposes.
Accessing UEFI#
Important
To access the UEFI setup menu, you must be using a keyboard connected directly to the DGX Spark device.
To access the UEFI setup menu:
Power on or restart the system
Immediately press Esc or Del during the boot process and keep holding it until the UEFI setup menu appears
The UEFI setup menu will appear
Note
The timing for pressing Esc or Del is critical. Press the key as soon as the system starts booting, before the operating system begins loading.
UEFI Documentation#
For detailed information about UEFI settings and configuration options, refer to the DGX Spark UEFI Manual.
General UEFI Configuration#
While there are no Spark-specific UEFI requirements, you may need to configure general system settings such as:
Basic settings (date and time, system language)
Power-on behavior
Device boot order
Security settings (TPM, secure Boot, passwords)
Network configuration
RAM disk configuration
Important
Always save your UEFI configuration changes before exiting from the Save and Exit menu to restart the system with your new settings applied.
Troubleshooting#
If you experience issues after making UEFI changes:
Revert to UEFI defaults and restart
Apply changes incrementally to identify problematic settings
Update to the latest UEFI version if available
Consult the DGX Spark UEFI Manual for specific setting descriptions
