5.4 IPMI
The motherboard provides remote access, monitoring and management through the
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and other management controllers
distributed among different system modules. There are several BIOS settings that are
related to IPMI. For general documentation and information on IPMI, 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.
Figure 5-5. BMC Password Label
The sticker can be found on the pull-out service tag at the front of the chassis. See
for label location.
