Which key should you press to start customizing system settings in the DCUI?

Pressing the F2 key in the DCUI (Direct Console User Interface) grants access to customize system settings on an ESXi host. This interface is essential for performing several management tasks, such as configuring network settings, setting up passwords, and adjusting other system options.

Upon selecting the F2 key, users are prompted to enter their administrative credentials to authenticate. Once access is granted, a variety of system settings can be modified, which is fundamental for maintaining and managing the ESXi host effectively.

Understanding the functionality of the DCUI and the role of the F2 key is crucial for administrators who need to swiftly manage their virtualization environment directly from the console, especially when remote access is not available.
