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).
V CAUTION!
– 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 blade supports four optional mezzanine cards. This enables Fibre
Channel connections, Infiniband connections and/or additional Ethernet
connections to be implemented.
The following mezzanine cards are available for the server blade:
– 1 Gbit/s Ethernet mezzanine card with 4 ports (2x Intel 82575 controllers,
each with two 1 Gbit/s channels)
