4.12 Security
For additional information regarding the following security features, see the PowerEdge T410
Hardware Owner’s Manual on Support.Dell.com.
4.12.1 Cover Latch
The PowerEdge T410 comes with a tooled latch on the side cover of the system that secures it to the
chassis. A lock secures the cover latch.
4.12.2 Bezel
A bezel is mounted to the front of the chassis. A lock on the bezel is used to protect unauthorized
access to remove or install an optional tape backup unit, optical disk drives, or hot-plug hard drives
(hot-plug hard drive chassis only). System status on the LCD or LED control panel is viewable even
when the bezel is installed.
4.12.3 Hard Drive
For T410 systems with a hot-plug hard drive chassis, the front bezel of the system contains a lock
which secures the system hard drives.
For systems with a cabled hard drive chassis, the drives are secured by the cover-latch lock on the
side of the system.
4.12.4 TPM
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is used to generate and store keys, protect and authenticate
passwords, and create and store digital certificates. The TPM can also be used to store Microsoft
®
BitLocker™ keys for hard drive encryption features in Microsoft Windows Server
®
2008. TPM is
enabled through a BIOS option.
4.12.5 Power Off Security
The control panel is designed so the power switch cannot be accidentally activated. The lock on the
bezel secures the switch behind the bezel. In addition, there is a setting in the CMOS setup that
disables the power button function.
4.12.6 Intrusion Alert
A switch mounted on the inside of the chassis, near the 5.25‖ drive bays, is used to detect chassis
intrusion. When the cover is opened, the switch circuit closes to indicate intrusion.
4.12.7 Secure Mode
BIOS has the ability to enter a secure boot mode through Setup. This mode includes the option to
lock out the power and NMI switches on the control panel or set up a system password.

chapter in the PowerEdge T410 Hardware Owner’s Manual on Support.Dell.com.
4.13 USB Key
The PowerEdge T410 has two ports inside the system on the planar for optional USB keys. Some
possible applications of the USB key are listed as follows:
• User custom boot and pre-boot OS for ease of deployment or diskless environments
