Item Connector 3 Video 4 USB 5 Serial Description For connecting a video monitor For connecting up to two USB devices For trained personnel to connect a null modem serial cable and perform advanced diagnostic procedures HP Trusted Platform Module option Use these instructions to install and enable a TPM on a supported server. This procedure includes three sections: 1. Installing the Trusted Platform Module board. 2. Retaining the recovery key/password (on page 64). 3. Enabling the Trusted Platform Module (on page 65). Enabling the TPM requires accessing RBSU ("HP ROM-Based Setup Utility" on page 73). For more information about RBSU, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/ilomgmtengine/docs). TPM installation requires the use of drive encryption technology, such as the Microsoft Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption feature. For more information on BitLocker, see the Microsoft website (http://www.microsoft.com). CAUTION: Always observe the guidelines in this document. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause hardware damage or halt data access. When installing or replacing a TPM, observe the following guidelines: • Do not remove an installed TPM. Once installed, the TPM becomes a permanent part of the system board. • When installing or replacing hardware, HP service providers cannot enable the TPM or the encryption technology. For security reasons, only the customer can enable these features. • When returning a system board for service replacement, do not remove the TPM from the system board. When requested, HP Service provides a TPM with the spare system board. • Any attempt to remove an installed TPM from the system board breaks or disfigures the TPM security rivet. Upon locating a broken or disfigured rivet on an installed TPM, administrators should consider the system compromised and take appropriate measures to ensure the integrity of the system data. • 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. • HP is not liable for blocked data access caused by improper TPM use. For operating instructions, see the encryption technology feature documentation provided by the operating system. Installing the Trusted Platform Module board WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
