Trusted Platform Module
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is used to generate/store keys, protect/authenticate passwords,
and create/store digital certificates. TPM can also be used to enable the BitLocker™ hard drive
encryption feature in Windows Server 2008. TPM is enabled through a BIOS option and uses HMAC-
SHA1-160 for binding. TCM is available in China.

Power Off Security
Through the BIOS, the front blade server USB ports and power button can be disabled so as to not
allow any control of the system from the front of the blade. The enclosure video can also be
restricted.
The BIOS System Setup program’s system security screen allows administrators to set the system
password, control TPM activation and reporting, clear the TPM’s memory, and disable the power
button and USB ports.
