Table 5.
Description
A tooled latch is integrated in the side cover to secure it to the rack chassis.
A metal bezel is mounted to the chassis front to provide the Dell ID. A lock on
the bezel is used to protect un‐authorized access to hard drives. System status is
viewable on the LCD screen when the bezel is installed.
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is used to generate/store keys,
protect/authenticate passwords and create/store digital certificates. It also
supports the Intel Xeon TXT functionality. TPM can also be used to enable the
BitLocker™ hard drive encryption feature in Windows Server 2008. TPM 1.2 is
supported. The China TCM solution is not supported on R920. No TPM version is
available for China or Russia.
BIOS has the ability to disable the power button function.
A switch mounted on riser three detects chassis intrusion. When iDRAC is
enabled, the switch circuit closes to indicate intrusion when the cover is opened.
BIOS has the ability to enter a secure boot mode through system setup. This
mode includes the option to lock out the power and NMI switches on the
control panel or set up a system password.
