Server 2008. TPM is enabled through a BIOS option and uses HMAC-SHA1-160 for binding. TCM is
available in China.

Through the BIOS, the front blade server USB ports and power button can be disabled so as to not
allow any control of the system from the front of the blade. The enclosure video can also be
restricted.
