Chapter 2. Connecting to the DGX A100

2.1

Connecting to the Console

Connect to the DGX A100 console using either a direct connection or a remote connection
through the BMC.
!
CAUTION: Connect directly to the DGX A100 console if the DGX A100 system is connected to a
172.17.xx.xx subnet.
DGX OS Server software installs Docker Engine which uses the 172.17.xx.xx sub-net by default for
Docker containers. If the DGX A100 system is on the same subnet, you will not be able to
establish a network connection to the DGX A100 system.
Refer to "Configuring Docker IP Addresses" for instructions about how to change the default
Docker network settings.
2.1.1

Direct Connection

At either the front or the back of the DGX A100 system, connect a display to the VGA connector,
and a keyboard to any of the USB ports.
Note: The display resolution must be 1440x900 or lower.
