DGX Station A100 DU-10189-001 _v5.0.2|44
AppendixA. Security
This section provides information about security in the DGX Station A100.
Changing Your BMC Credentials
The DGX Station A100 comes with an embedded Baseboard Management Controller (BMC).
It enables remote access and control of the workstation for authorized users. From the
factory, the BMC ships with a default username and password (admin/admin), and for security
reasons, you must change these credentials before you plug a network cable into the port on
the rear IO panel.
To simplify this process, the first time the system is booted, you will be prompted for a
username and password to configure the new BMC user and password. This process also
disables the default user and scramble its password so it cannot be used to access the BMC.
The username for the new BMC user will be the same as the username that you entered for
the operating system administrative user. The password will be unique because it is entered
separately during the operating system configuration process.
Plugging in the Network Cable
After you complete the initial configuration of the system, and the BMC username and
password have been entered, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the yellow sticker from the rear IO panel of the DGX Station A100.
2. Remove and remove the dust cover to expose the Ethernet RJ45 port.
3. Plug in a network cable and the BMC will obtain an IP address from DHCP.
