6-6 BMC
The control board provides remote access, monitoring and management through
the baseboard management controller (BMC) and other management controllers
distributed among different system modules. There are several BIOS settings that
are related to BMC. For general documentation and information on BMC, visit our

BMC ADMIN User Password
For security, each system is assigned a unique default BMC password for the ADMIN
user. This can be found on a sticker on the chassis and a sticker on the control
board. The sticker also displays the BMC MAC address.

IP Address
The default IP address configuration mode is Dynamic Host and Configuration
Protocol (DHCP). When connected to the network, you can find the IP address
assigned to this system from the DHCP server. (See below for an additional method
to identify the assigned IP address.) This allows you to log in to the BMC.
Note
: The IP configuration mode can be reset to Static IP mode for troubleshooting.
Press and hold the UID/reset button on the front Control panel for 6-8 seconds to
change to static IP mode with the default IP address as shown below. Return the
IP configuration mode back to DHCP using the BMC.
Simple setup configuration:
BMC default IP: 192.168.1.99
User name: ADMIN
Password: Unique password, as noted on sticker (details above)
