LSD/LSP
The system board supports the CSS (Customer Self Service) functionality (description see the Operating Manual). You can install a ServerView Local Service Display (LSD) or ServerView Local Service Panel (LSP) for an easier identification of the defective components.
Additional expansion cards in the PCI Express slots
The system board offers seven PCI Express slots. Slots
I Slot 1 is the preferred slot for the SAS/SATA RAID controller (bootable).
Slot 5 and slot 7 allow the mechanical installation of x16 PCIe expansion cards. The bus width is restricted to 8 lanes.
Battery Backup Unit
A Battery Backup Unit (BBU) backs up the memory contents of the SAS/SATA RAID controller in the event of a power failure. One BBU can be installed for each SAS/SATA RAID controller. A maximum of three BBUs can be installed for each system.
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
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.
