Does anybody know how to get into GRUB on the Dell Pro Max Spark? What key should I hit when I power it on? I unfortunately need to get access to GRUB and to hopefully disable a service from there
@WillLee for the FE (the ones I’m using) it’s DEL or ESC during system startup. You can also trigger the BIOS with:
sudo systemctl reboot --firmware-setup
and restart the system.
On Dell it should be the same. And using a wired keyboard works best.
Thanks. Once I got a wired keyboard and a monitor, i will try those keys

Thank you. I figured it out and resolved my issue to successfully disable a rogue service. For those who have the Dell version of Spark:
Power your box on
Repeatedly hit F7 - don’t wait until ya see the Dell logo on screen
When a image selection screen appears, select DGX OS to boot
Then hit ESC once immediately - hitting ESC too many times will bring you into the “grub >” shell instead
That took me into GRUB. I could then add “systemd.unit=rescue.target” to get into a rescue mode/shell
