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. For more information about TPM, including a white paper, go to:
www.hp.com/go/TPM
NOTE:
ProLiant OS pre-installed units will come with the partition required for TPM deployment.
NOTE:
The TPM key is unique to every TPM deployed server and must be retained. Misplacing or
loosing the key could result in data loss.

provides the customer with commonality in power supplies across multiple platforms to save on
the cost of spares and allows HP to offer multiple power solutions to fit the customers' needs.
Many HP ProLiant Servers come with Common Slot, High Efficiency and Right-Size Power
Supplies. Common Slot (CS) designates commonality of the power supply across multiple
ProLiant servers. HP's new Common Slot power supplies are designed for highest efficiency to
provide power efficiency without degrading performance of the ProLiant. Power Supplies will have
efficiency ratings up to 92%. There are three Right Size power options available, depending on
the configuration of your server. To make sure you select the correct power supply to meet your
