Nokia AirFrame AR-D52B

[repurposer]

Anyone have any experience with this type of server?
I have a unit and it is clearly a server based on a QuantaGrid D52B-1U.

It seems to be somewhat locked down so I have not been able to reset password for BMC via ipmitool. I can create users, but not set password so not able to login.
I have not been able to find any bmc-reset jumper on the board either.
I would like to find out how to reset the bmc so I can remotely access the server.

Also, original parts list for the D52B unit does list Nvidia A2, but when I connect this GPU then fans go straight to insane-mode as soon as device discovery identifies the card during post, rendering it unusable for my needs.
Any thoughts on this? The A2 GPU has a HPE parts code, but can that be an issue?
The BMC is from production date I think, but not sure if I am able to upgrade it due to the lockdown of the unit.

Any thoughts and experiences are welcome
