The TPM is used to generate and store keys, protect and authenticate passwords, and create and store digital certificates. The TPM can also be used to store Microsoft® BitLocker™ keys for hard drive encryption features in Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008. TPM is enabled through a BIOS option and uses HMAC-SHA1-160 for binding.

The control panel is designed so the power switch cannot be accidentally activated. The lock on the bezel secures the switch behind the bezel. In addition, there is a setting in the CMOS setup that disables the power button function.

A chassis intrusion switch mounted inside the system chassis on the front panel board, and is used to detect chassis intrusion. When the cover is opened, the switch circuit closes and indicates intrusion.

4.12.7Secure Mode

BIOS has the ability to enter a secure boot mode through setup. This mode includes the option to lock out the power and NMI switches on the control panel or set up a system password.
