Rail pass users must reserve before boarding these trains, and these reservations can now be booked on the OBB website, without the need to pay booking fees.
Though the process isn't particularly obvious, hence the instructions are included on this guide to using the OBB website.

Or reservations can be arranged and paid for at the ÖBB Reisebüro desk in Wien Hbf - (ideally do this when you first arrive at Wien Hbf on the preceding train on your itinerary) or by calling OBB Customer Service (+43 5 1717).

Rail pass users can obtain good value for money on this train, particularly if you travel in the couchettes. The journey ticket price is comparatively expensive, as no discounted tickets are available.
And that journey price is covered by your rail pass long, as it is valid in Austria, Hungary and Romania, so all you'll need to do is pay the (typically smaller) reservation fee.
