Preface
System board
The features of the system board are described in the technical manual for the
system board D2529 for the hardware and in the “BIOS Setup” for the firmware.
TPM (optional)
The system board is optional equipped with a TPM (Trusted Platform Module)
by the manufacturer. This module enables programs from third party manufac-
turers to store key information (e.g. drive encryption using Windows Bitlocker
Drive Encryption).
The TPM is activated via the BIOS system (for more information, refer to the
Fujitsu Siemens Computers BIOS manual).
V
CAUTION!
–
When using the TPM, note the program descriptions provided by the
third party manufacturers.
–
You must also create a backup of the TPM content. To do this, follow
the third party manufacturer's instructions. Without this backup, if the
TPM or the system board is faulty you will not be able to access your
data.
–
If a failure occurs, please inform your service about the TPM
activation before it takes any action, and be prepared to provide them
with your backup copies of the TPM content.
PCI slots
The server has one standard PCI slot and six PCI express slots. Of these six
PCI express slots, four are x4 slots and two potential x8 slots. The capacity of
the two x8 slots depends on how all the PCI express slots are filled (see System
Board manual D2529).
