Manageability and security
Powerful systems management features simplify local and remote management of the TS450:
Active Management Technology monitors server availability and enables administrators to perform
remote management.
An integrated industry-standard Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) enables improved setup,
configuration, and updates, and simplifies error handling.
The ThinkServer EasyStartup tool simplifies the process of configuring RAID and installing supported
Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems, VMware hypervisors, and device drivers on a
ThinkServer system.
Optional Trusted Cryptographic Module (TCM) (available only in China) enables advanced
cryptographic functionality, such as digital signatures and remote attestation.
Administrator's and power-on passwords help protect from unauthorized access to the server.
Optional server locks such as a padlock, cable lock, or lockable front cover help prevent unauthorized
access to the internal components of the server, and the intrusion switch (select models) informs
about the removed or improperly installed server cover.
