Frequently Asked Questions
How do I access the JumpStart server?

Go to https://www.supermicro.com/sso/jumpstart and refer to the provided document and instruction that comes with server credentials.

How many sessions can I have open at once?

Currently, we are limiting the sessions to one VNC, one SSH, and one IPMI session per server.

What happens to the server after I am done with my demo?

The server is manually secure erased; the BIOS and firmware are reflashed; and the OS is re-installed with new credentials.

Is the server on a public IP address?

No. The server can reach out to the Internet to get files, but it is not directly addressable to the Internet. We are using the jump server as a proxy so you can get access to the server you are authorized on.

Should I do sensitive data processing on the demo server?

No; processing sensitive data on the demo server is expressly prohibited. Please refrain from using sensitive or confidential data, we strongly recommend using only anonymized data since this server may have different security policies than are required within your organization.

If we leave data on the server, will it be backed up?

No, we do not back up data on the demo servers. Servers are reset after each demo, and no backups are made. Please refrain from storing important or sensitive data on the demo platforms. It is essential to understand that data retention is your responsibility, and it is crucial to clear any data you input before the end of your access period.

If the standard JumpStart configuration does not meet your testing needs, please contact your Supermicro representative or the send us an email at FastTrack2SMC@supermicro.com to discuss your requirements and consider other options for providing you the required solution.
