DGX Spark: Enabling Auto Boot After Power Loss in BIOS

X postMiaTutorial

Mia shares a quick configuration tip for DGX Spark owners to ensure the device automatically powers on following a power outage.

Key points

  1. To ensure automatic power-on after an outage, check the BIOS and set 'After Power Loss Behavior' to '[Auto Boot]'.
  2. According to Mia, this option is enabled by default on some units, but disabled on others.

Why it matters

Automatic recovery after a power outage prevents extended downtime and removes the need for manual on-site intervention to reboot hardware.

Analysis

The post highlights an inconsistency in default factory settings across DGX Spark units. Operators and administrators need to verify BIOS settings proactively to avoid systems remaining offline after power interruptions.
