Retaining the recovery key/password The recovery key/password is generated during BitLocker™ setup, and can be saved and printed after BitLocker™ is enabled. When using BitLocker™, always retain the recovery key/password. The recovery key/password is required to enter Recovery Mode after BitLocker™ detects a possible compromise of system integrity. To help ensure maximum security, observe the following guidelines when retaining the recovery key/password: • Always store the recovery key/password in multiple locations. • Always store copies of the recovery key/password away from the server. • Do not save the recovery key/password on the encrypted hard drive. Enabling the Trusted Platform Module Press the F10 key to access BIOS Setup. See the BIOS setup information for the specific procedure to enable the TPM on a ProLiant 100 Series server. CAUTION: When a TPM is installed and enabled on the server, data access is locked if you fail to follow the proper procedures for updating the system or option firmware, replacing the system board, replacing a hard drive, or modifying OS application TPM settings. For more information on firmware updates and hardware procedures, see the HP Trusted Platform Module Best Practices White Paper on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support). For more information on adjusting TPM usage in BitLocker™, see the Microsoft website (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/aa905065.aspx). Hardware options installation 39
