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.

For more information about product features, specifications, options, configurations, and compatibility, see
the product QuickSpecs on the HP Product Bulletin website
CAUTION:
The default and redundant power supplies in the server must have the same output
power capacity. Verify that all power supplies have the same part number and label color. The
system becomes unstable and might shut down when it detects mismatched power supplies.
