Change the password if you received a replacement node with a non-standard BMC
password
Some replacement nodes may be shipped with non-standard passwords for the baseboard management
controller (BMC) UI. If you receive a replacement node with a non-standard BMC password, you should
change the password to the default, ADMIN.
Steps
1. Identify whether you received a replacement node with a non-standard BMC password:
a. Look for a sticker under the IPMI port at the back of the replacement node that you received. If you
