capability
Electrical input: 12 V dc
Security: Fully compliant with NIST
800-131A. The security cryptography
mode set by the managing device
(CMM or FSM node) determines the
security mode in which the compute
node operates.
See the ServerProven website for information about supported operating-system versions and all compute
node optional devices.
