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#

To access the UEFI setup menu:

  1. Power on or restart the system

  2. Immediately press Esc or Del during the boot process and keep holding it until the UEFI setup menu appears

  3. 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#

The DGX Spark system uses an AMI UEFI. For detailed information about UEFI settings and configuration options, refer to the AMI 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 AMI UEFI manual for specific setting descriptions
