UEFI Upgrade/Downgrade

Prev Next

Nodegrid OSes version 5.0 or below are Legacy Only, which means those images are not capable of booting in a system configured for UEFI Boot Mode. In a system running one of those images can be upgraded to new versions but will still run in Legacy. To Upgrade a Legacy device with a new image in UEFI mode, the following procedure is required:

  1. On a USB drive, copy the NG 5.X UEFI image
     Or setup a PxE Server with NG5.X UEFI Netboot Tarball.
  2. During installation, select Install Nodegrid formatting disk. 
  3. After installation, refer to Intrusion Prevention.

  4. Reboot the system.

Enable Secure Boot (optional)

  1. Go to Security :: Services :: Intrusion Prevention.
  2. Select Enable Secure Boot checkbox.
  3. Click Save.
  4. Reboot the device.

Nodegrid OS version 5.1 and above are both Legacy and UEFI compatible.
