Note: The root password is set to expire for each node when they arrive the customer location. The
customer will be prompted to change the root password after logging in the first time. The default
password is ibmesscluster. The password change must meet security standards. Also, note that three
failed login attempts will result in a 5 minute lockout period.

Completing the hardware location chart

Planning for the physical location of the system hardware includes documenting the rack locations of the
enclosures and other devices. To determine the rack location, review the requirements and specification
of each device.
The hardware location chart represents the rack into which the enclosures are installed. Each row of the
chart represents one Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) 19-inch wide by 1.75-inch tall rack space or
unit, each of which is commonly referred to as 1U of the rack. As you design your rack for your system,
use Table 20 on page 68 to record the physical configuration of the enclosures and other devices in your
system.
