The TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a microcontroller chip that can securely store artifacts
used to authenticate the server platform. These artifacts can include passwords, certificates and
encryption keys. Windows® BitLocker™ Drive Encryption (BitLocker) is a data protection feature
available in Windows Server® 2008. BitLocker leverages the enhanced security capabilities of a
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 1.2. The TPM works with BitLocker to help protect user
data and to ensure that a server running Windows Server 2008 has not been tampered with while
the system was offline.

NOTE:
HP ProLiant DL servers no longer ship standard with NEMA power cords (163719-002)
that allow connection to 110V US wall outlets in a home or office. ProLiant DL servers are
primarily connected to PDU's in data center racks so they now ship standard with only a PDU
power cord (416151-B21). If a user wishes to power a ProLiant DL server using a 110V
receptacle (NEMA-15), the NEMA power cord (227099-001) must be ordered separately.
If customers require a local power cord, they can check the power cord matrix for the appropriate
cord. Please see the following power cord matrix:
