12.1

USER SECURITY MEASURES

The NVIDIA DGX A100 system is a specialized server designed to be deployed in a data
center. It must be configured to protect the hardware from unauthorized access and
unapproved use. The DGX A100 system is designed with a dedicated BMC Management
Port and multiple Ethernet network ports.
When installing the DGX A100 system in the data center, follow best practices as
established by your organization to protect against unauthorized access.

12.1.1 Securing the BMC Port

NVIDIA recommends that the BMC port of the DGX A100 system be connected to a
dedicated management network with firewall protection. If remote access to the BMC is
required (such as for a system hosted at a co-location provider), it should be accessed
through a secure method that provides isolation from the internet, such as through a
VPN server.
