Security; Cover Latch; Bezel; Hard Drive - Dell PowerEdge R415 Technical Manual

Dell
The LCD panel is a graphics display controlled by iDRAC6. Error codes can be sent to the display by either
iDRAC6 or BIOS.
The system's LCD panel provides system information and status messages to signify when the system is
operating correctly or when the system needs attention.
BIOS has the ability to enter a secure mode through Setup, which locks the Power and NMI buttons. When in
this mode, the power button can still be used to turn on the system, but it cannot be used to turn off power
to the system.
For more information on the LCD panel, see the LCD Panel Features (Optional) section in the About Your
System chapter in the PowerEdge R415 Hardware Owner's Manual on Support.Dell.com.

For additional information regarding the PowerEdge R415 security features listed below, see the PowerEdge
R415 Hardware Owner's Manual on Support.Dell.com.
3.13.1

Cover Latch

The PowerEdge R415 comes with a coin-lock entry latch on the top cover of the unit and provides security
for the entire system. The lock provides for toolless access to the chassis.
3.13.2

Bezel

A metal bezel is an available option and is mounted to the chassis front to provide the Dell ID. A lock on the
bezel prevents unauthorized access to system peripherals and the control panel. System status remains
viewable when the bezel is installed.
3.13.3

Hard Drive

Hot-plug hard drives are only accessible by opening the bezel, thus locking the bezel secures the hard
drives. Cabled hard drives are only accessible by opening the top cover, thus locking the top cover will
secure the hard drives.
3.13.4

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

The TPM is used to generate/store keys, protect/authenticate passwords, and create/store digital
certificates. TPM can also be used to store the Microsoft
®
in Microsoft Windows Server
binding. In China, the S-TPM (Socket TPM) is used.
3.13.5

Power Off Security

The control panel is designed such that the power switch cannot be accidentally activated. The lock on the
bezel secures the power button behind the bezel. In addition, there is a setting in the CMOS setup that
disables the power button function.
3.13.6

Intrusion Alert

A chassis intrusion switch is located at the front panel board. The switch detects when the top cover is
opened.
