Accessing the MGMT

Caution

• Do not insert the network cable into the (BMC) MGMT port until after you complete the first boot of the host OS.

• To protect the DGX Station A100 from unauthorized access, type a strong password. The strength of the password you choose is indicated as you type it.

The DGX Station A100 includes a BMC to enable the DGX Station A100 to be administered remotely. To protect your DGX Station A100 from unauthorized access through the BMC, you must set the username and password to log in to the BMC before you connect the MGMT (BMC) Ethernet port to your LAN.

Complete this task as part of the initial Ubuntu OS configuration. After you complete this task, you can connect the MGMT (BMC) Ethernet port to your LAN.

To access the BMC, configure an IP address as described in the DGX Station A100 User Guide.
