The PowerEdge R210 II uses a TPM encryption chip solution on the system board with BIOS support
worldwide, except for China where Trusted Computing Module (TCM) is the standard. TPM is disabled
by default.

store digital certificates. The TPM can also be used to store Microsoft
encryption features in Microsoft
uses HMAC-SHA1-160 for binding.

disables the power button function.

detect chassis intrusion. When the cover is opened, the switch circuit closes and indicates intrusion.
