TPM Expansion ROM Measuring TPM Expansion ROM Measuring enables the BIOS to measure the optional PCI or PCIe expansion ROM code and store that measurement in the TPM. On subsequent reboots, operating systems or validation software that utilize the measurements stored in the TPM can use this data to detect modifcations to PCI or PCIe expansion ROM versions. TPM Clear The TPM Clear option allows the user to reset the TPM to factory settings, clearing any assigned passwords, keys, or ownership. Clearing the TPM may prevent the server from booting to a TPM-aware operating system. Network Server Mode The Network Server Mode option is a toggle setting that sets the server to operate in network server mode. This feature works in conjunction with the power-on password. When set to Disabled, the server operates normally. When it is set to Enabled, the following actions occur: • The local keyboard remains locked until the power-on password is entered. • The power-on password prompt is bypassed. • When a diskette is in the diskette drive, the server does not start unless the power-on password is entered locally. IMPORTANT: Network server mode cannot be enabled until the power-on password has been established. QuickLock The QuickLock option is a toggle setting that either enables or disables the QuickLock feature. When set to Enabled, the keyboard is locked by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+L keys. The keyboard remains locked until the power-on password is typed. NOTE: If the power-on password is disabled at the power-on key prompt, the QuickLock feature remains inactive until the password is changed in RBSU. BIOS Serial Console/EMS Support IMPORTANT: Some languages or characters may require a specific emulation mode. The BIOS Serial Console/EMS Support option configures the serial port to view POST error messages and run RBSU remotely through a serial connection to the server COM port. The remote server does not require a keyboard or mouse. For more information about BIOS Serial Console, see the BIOS Serial Console User Guide on the Documentation CD or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/smartstart/documentation). BIOS Serial Console design supports VT100+ protocol, and ANSI and V100 terminal emulation. VT100 is supported by all terminal emulation programs. However, ANSI supports enhanced graphics and is RBSU menu (HP ProLiant G6 and earlier servers or server blades) 120

TPM Expansion ROM Measuring
TPM Expansion ROM Measuring enables the BIOS to measure the optional PCI or PCIe expansion ROM
code and store that measurement in the TPM. On subsequent reboots, operating systems or validation
software that utilize the measurements stored in the TPM can use this data to detect modifcations to PCI or
PCIe expansion ROM versions.
TPM Clear
The TPM Clear option allows the user to reset the TPM to factory settings, clearing any assigned
passwords, keys, or ownership.
Clearing the TPM may prevent the server from booting to a TPM-aware operating system.
Network Server Mode
The Network Server Mode option is a toggle setting that sets the server to operate in network server
mode. This feature works in conjunction with the power-on password. When set to Disabled, the server
operates normally. When it is set to Enabled, the following actions occur:
The local keyboard remains locked until the power-on password is entered.
The power-on password prompt is bypassed.
When a diskette is in the diskette drive, the server does not start unless the power-on password is
entered locally.
IMPORTANT:
Network server mode cannot be enabled until the power-on password has
been established.
QuickLock
The QuickLock option is a toggle setting that either enables or disables the QuickLock feature. When set
to Enabled, the keyboard is locked by pressing the
Ctrl+Alt+L
keys. The keyboard remains locked until the
power-on password is typed.
NOTE:
If the power-on password is disabled at the power-on key prompt, the QuickLock
feature remains inactive until the password is changed in RBSU.
BIOS Serial Console/EMS Support

Some languages or characters may require a specific emulation mode.
The BIOS Serial Console/EMS Support option configures the serial port to view POST error messages and
run RBSU remotely through a serial connection to the server COM port. The remote server does not
require a keyboard or mouse.
