Fujitsu TX200 S6 Preface System board, Trusted Platform Module TPM, Slots for expansion cards

Preface

System board

The features of the system board are described in the technical manual for the system board D2799 for the hardware and in the BIOS Setup 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 “D2799 BIOS Setup Utility for TX200 S6" 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.

Slots for expansion cards

The server can be expanded flexibly via six slots (one 32-bit PCI, two PCIe Gen2 x8, and three PCIe Gen2 x4).

PCIe Gen2 doubles the bandwidth of currently existing PCIe busses and allows improved system performance.
