A data center administrator needs to prevent unauthorized changes to the BIOS settings on a PowerEdge server that hosts a critical application. The server is located in a shared rack with other tenants. Which feature should be enabled to restrict BIOS configuration changes, and what additional feature would alert if someone physically opens the chassis?

TPM 2.0 and System Lockdown Mode

System Lockdown Mode and Hardware Intrusion Detection

Hardware Intrusion Detection and Secure Boot

How does Secure Boot prevent unauthorized code from running during the boot process?

By blocking all unsigned drivers from loading in the operating system

By requiring the boot loader and kernel to present a valid digital signature that matches trusted certificates in the firmware

By comparing the hash of the boot code against a known-good value stored in the TPM

By encrypting the boot loader with a key stored in the server's iDRAC

What is the purpose of System Lockdown Mode in a PowerEdge server?

To restrict configuration changes to the system BIOS and firmware

To prevent unauthorized physical access to the server's internal components

To automatically update the BIOS to the latest version

To encrypt all data stored on the server's hard drives

Which of the following is a key capability provided by TPM 2.0?

Providing a firewall to filter incoming network traffic

Encrypting all network traffic between the server and clients

Storing cryptographic keys in a way that resists software-based attacks

Monitoring the server's physical chassis for intrusion attempts

A PowerEdge server experienced a BIOS corruption that also affected the OS boot loader. The administrator wants to ensure that the server can recover both the BIOS and the OS automatically. Which combination of features should be configured?
