Retaining the recovery key/password
The recovery key/password is generated during BitLocker™ setup, and can be saved and printed after
BitLocker™ is enabled. 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.
To help ensure maximum security, observe the following guidelines when retaining the recovery
key/password:
•
Always store the recovery key/password in multiple locations.
•
Always store copies of the recovery key/password away from the server.
•
Do not save the recovery key/password on the encrypted hard drive.

Memory configurations
This server supports 2 GB to 256 GB of system memory using DDR3 2-GB, 4-GB, 8-GB, and 16-GB
memory modules across 24 memory sockets.
Advanced ECC memory
Advanced ECC memory is the memory protection mode for this server. In Advanced ECC, the server does
not fail because of correctable memory errors. The server provides notification if the level of correctable
errors exceeds a pre-defined threshold rate.
Advanced ECC provides additional protection over standard ECC because it is possible to correct certain
memory errors that would otherwise be uncorrectable and result in a server failure.
