Information Update
System Board Replacement – Safeguarding
Encrypted Data
On PowerEdge 1950 III systems using Windows Server
®
2008, you can use
encryption programs, such as the BitLocker utility, to secure the contents
of the hard drive.
If you are using the TPM with an encryption application, you are prompted
to create a recovery key during system setup. Be sure to store this recovery key.
If you replace the system board, you must supply the recovery key when you
restart your system before you can access the encrypted files on your hard
drive(s).
