How to enter System Setup

[Yiren Pang]

Hi there, 

As I need to conduct experiments with a notably outdated kernel version (3.2) that does not support UEFI, I wish to access the "System Setup" in order to switch the "Boot Mode" to BIOS. However, it is requesting me to input the "Setup Password." Despite attempting both my account password and the default password displayed on the console page, neither of them seems to be effective. Could you kindly provide me with the correct password or assist me in adjusting these settings?

 

My experiment URL is https://www.cloudlab.us/status.php?uuid=1de43279-a885-11ee-9f39-e4434b2381fc#

Hope for your reply. Thank you!

Changing BIOS settings is not something we allow users to do. We do
occasionally make changes on behalf of users, but UEFI vs. legacy BIOS is
not something we can easily change dynamically as it heavily affects our
boot path. That said, the node in question that you are using (c6420) are
already in legacy BIOS mode, so that should not be your problem. It could
just be that the kernel you are trying to boot is too old to support some
of the hardware on the machine.

Thank you for your response. I have found that the c8220 machine is working fine, but I need to set up priority queues and WRED on the switch that has its 10Gbps link. Could you please let me know if the corresponding switch supports this configuration? And if so, can you guide me on how to proceed with the operation?
