Preface

Features

System board

The features of the system board (D2619) are described in the technical manual 
for the system board in relation to the hardware and in the BIOS setup manual.

USB Flash Module (UFM) (option)

The system board is equipped with a UFM slot by the manufacturer. 

I

The "internal USB stick" and "UFM" slots must not be used in parallel. 
Either an internal USB stick 

or

 a UFM may be used.

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 
Fujitsu Technology Solutions BIOS 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 flexibly expanded via seven slots (two PCIe Gen2 x8 and five 
PCIe Gen2 x4). PCIe Gen2 doubles the bandwidth of currently existing PCIe 
busses and allows improved system performance.

One of these slots (slot 1) is occupied with one of two possible SAS/SATA RAID 
controllers.
