Dell PowerEdge R210 II Technical Guide 20
4.12.3 Hard Drive
Cabled hard drives are only accessible by opening the top cover, thus locking the top cover secures
the hard drives.
For information about installing or removing the hard drives, see the Hard Drives section in the
Installing System Components chapter in the PowerEdge R210 II Owner’s Manual on
Dell.com/Support/Manuals.
4.12.4 Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
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.
The 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
®
BitLocker™ keys for hard drive
encryption features in Microsoft

Windows Server

2008. TPM is enabled through a BIOS option and
uses HMAC-SHA1-160 for binding.
4.12.5 Power Switch Security
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.
4.12.6 Intrusion Alert
A chassis intrusion switch mounted inside the system chassis on the front panel board, and is used to
detect chassis intrusion. When the cover is opened, the switch circuit closes and indicates intrusion.
4.12.7 Secure Mode
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 the Using the System Setup Program and Boot Manager chapter in the
PowerEdge R210 II Owner’s Manual on Dell.com/Support/Manuals.
