4.9 USB Key

The PowerEdge T310 has two ports inside the system on the planar for optional USB keys. Some
possible applications of the USB key are listed as follows:
• User custom boot and pre-boot OS for ease of deployment or diskless environments
• USB license keys for software applications like eToken™ or Sentinel Hardware Keys
• Storage of custom logs or scratch pads for portable user defined information (not hot-
pluggable)

4.10 Battery

A replaceable coin cell CR2032 3V battery is mounted on the planar to provide backup power for the
real-time clock (RTC) and CMOS RAM on the ICH chip.
There is also a battery holder for optional PERC cards which is located under the chassis cover.

Description
Tooled latch with lock on the side cover secures it to the chassis
Bezel mounted to the front of the chassis with a lock on the bezel to protect
unauthorized access to remove or install an optional tape backup unit,
optical disk drives, or hot-plug hard drives (hot-plug hard drive chassis only).
System status on the LCD or LED control panel is visible even when the bezel
is installed.
For T310 systems with a hot-plug hard drive chassis, the front bezel of the
system contains a lock which secures the system hard drives. For systems
with a cabled hard drive chassis, the drives are secured by the cover-latch
lock on the side of the system.
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is used to generate and store keys,
protect and authenticate passwords, and create and store digital
certificates. The TPM can also be used to store Microsoft
for hard drive encryption features in Microsoft Windows Server
enabled through a BIOS option.
The control panel is designed so the power switch cannot be accidentally
activated. The lock on the bezel secures the switch behind the bezel. In
addition, there is a setting in the CMOS setup that disables the power button
function.
A switch mounted on the inside of the chassis, near the 5.25‖ drive bays, is
used to detect chassis intrusion. When the cover is opened, the switch
circuit closes to indicate intrusion.
BIOS has the ability to enter a secure boot mode through Setup. This mode
includes the option to lock out the power and NMI switches on the control
panel or set up a system password. For more information, see System and
Setup Password Features section in the About Your System chapter in the
PowerEdge T310 Hardware Owner's Manual on Support.Dell.com/Manuals.
