You can request BIOS-level changes to your bare metal GPU by opening a support ticket. BIOS settings are not accessible directly, but our team can apply the requested changes for you.
Note
Enabling Intel TDX may require us to reprovision your server. Reprovisioning erases local data and reinstalls the operating system, so back up any important information before you submit your request.
Use a DigitalOcean-provided TDX-enabled image. We can reprovision your server with an image that already includes a kernel compiled for TDX. This is the most reliable option.
Compile your own TDX-enabled kernel. We can enable TDX in the BIOS so you can attempt to compile the kernel yourself.
If the kernel fails to compile or becomes unbootable, the server usually must be repaved. In these cases, we reinstall our TDX-enabled image.
Because kernel compilation may fail or result in a repave, enabling TDX is considered a BIOS change that may require reprovisioning.
Before you contact support, include the following in your ticket:
The specific BIOS setting you want changed.
Whether you prefer to use your existing operating system or reprovision with a fresh image.
Any relevant context about your workload or kernel requirements.
Our support team reviews the request, confirms whether reprovisioning is required, and then schedules the change.

Why is a speed test for my bare metal GPU showing slower network speeds?
Public speed test servers may not accurately reflect network performance in data center environments. Use tools like iperf or real-world endpoints for accurate testing.
