UEFI Setup

Before deploying a Windows Server or Azure Stack HCI operating system on ThinkAgile MX nodes, it is essential that we configure the servers’ UEFI settings properly. These settings must be manually configured. It is a good idea to double-check that all critical UEFI settings are set properly prior to starting any deployment. The specific steps used to configure UEFI settings depend on the generation of the base server.

Introduction​

Use the steps in the UEFI Setup for ThinkAgile MX nodes using V1 and V2 servers topic to configure UEFI settings for all ThinkAgile MX solutions that are based on Lenovo V1 and V2 servers. Specifically, this includes the following ThinkAgile MX solutions:

  • ThinkAgile MX Certified Node on SR650, machine type 7Z20
