Chapter 2.
This section provides information about how to connect to the DGX A100 system.
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 sub-net, you will not be able to
establish a network connection to the DGX A100 system.
Refer to Configuring Docker IP Addresses
network settings.
2.1.1.

Direct Connection

At the front or the back of the DGX A100 system, you can 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.
