5.4 BMC
The motherboard 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 website at:

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 motherboard. The sticker
also displays the BMC MAC address. If necessary, the password can be reset using the
Supermicro IPMICFG tool.
