Performance features
In the event of errors, the ServerView Operations Manager refers you directly to the affected component and its order information in the Illustrated Spares catalog of the server in question. (This feature is not available for the Japanese market.)
System board
The features of the system board are described in the technical manual for the system board D2873 for the hardware and in the BIOS Setup chapter of this manual for the firmware.
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for safer storage of keys can be implemented as an option. This module enables programs from third party manufacturers to store key information (e.g. drive encryption using Windows Bitlocker Drive Encryption).
The TPM is activated via the BIOS system (for more information, refer to the “D2873 BIOS Setup Utility for BX960 S1" manual).
VCAUTION!
–When using the TPM, note the program descriptions provided by the third party manufacturers.
–You must also create a backup of the TPM content. To do this, follow the third party manufacturer's instructions. Without this backup, if the TPM or the system board is faulty you will not be able to access your data.
–If a failure occurs, please inform your service about the TPM activation before it takes any action, and be prepared to provide them with your backup copies of the TPM content.
