TX200 S6 Operating Manual 15
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).
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 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.
