NOTE: For added security, Dell strongly recommends that you change the default
password of the root (User 1) account. The root account is the default
administrative account that ships with the CMC. To change the default password for
the root account, click User ID 1 to open the User Configuration page. Help for that
page is available through the Help link at the top right corner of the page.

NOTE: The community string on the Chassis Event Alert Destinations page
differs from the community string on the Chassis→ Network/Security→
Services page. The SNMP traps community string is the community that the
CMC uses for outbound traps destined to management stations. The
community string on the Chassis→ Network/Security→ Services page is the
community string that management stations use to query the SNMP daemon
on the CMC.
