Chapter 2. Connecting to DGX B200
2.1. Connecting to the Console
Connect to the DGX B200 console using either a direct connection or a remote connection through
the BMC.
ǩ Important
Connect directly to the DGX B200 console if the NVIDIA DGX™ B200 system is connected to a
172.17.xx.xx subnet.
DGX OS Server software installs Docker Engine, which uses the 172.17.xx.xx subnet by default for
Docker containers. If the DGX B200 system is on the same subnet, you cannot establish a network
connection to the DGX B200 system.
For instructions on changing the default Docker network settings, refer to Conguring Docker IP
Addresses in the NVIDIA DGX OS 7 User Guide.
2.1.1. Direct Connection
At the front or the back of the system, you can connect a display to the VGA connector and a keyboard
to any of the USB ports.
The system provides video to one of the two VGA ports at a time. Simultaneous video output is not
supported. If you connect both VGA ports, the VGA port on the rear has precedence.
® Note
The display resolution must be 1440x900 or lower.
