Whenever possible use the following tips to help you select the proper slot for an expansion card Insert the primary graphics card in a PCle x16 slot intended for graphics Insert a second graphics card in a second PCle x16 slot intended for a secondary graphics card Install full length cards in slots that support full length cards For optimal cooling and acoustics do not insert a card next to a graphics card to avoid blocking the graphics card heatsink and fan This is especially important for a card that requires an auxiliary power cable For best results choose a lower profile card to place next to the graphics heatsink and fan Install a card in a slot that most closely matches its interface technology Install a PCle Gen2 x8 card in a PCle Gen2 x8 slot Install a PCle Gen1 x8 card in a PCle Gen1 x8 slot o Install a PCle Gen1 x4 card in a PCle Gen1 x4 slot o Install a PCle Gen1 x1 card in a PCle Gen1 x1 slot o Install a PCI card in a PCI slot Leave as much space as possible between cards For best operational efficiency select a slot that o Has more lanes electrically o Has fewer lanes but is closer to your needs For example place an x16 card in an x8 slot and an x8 card in a an x4 slot An x1 connector supports an x1 card only Although an x1 card can be inserted into any slot this may waste the potential for future card placement Install cards that require internal cable connections so that the cables

D DriveLock is for HP customers for whom data security is a paramount concern For such customers the cost of a hard disk drive and the loss of the data stored on it is inconsequential when compared to the damage that could result from unauthorized access to its contents To balance this level of security with the need to address the issue of a forgotten password the HP implementation of DriveLock employs a two password security scheme One password is intended to be set and used by a system administrator while the other is typically set and used by the user No back door can be used to unlock the drive if both passwords are lost Therefore DriveLock is most safely used when the data contained on the hard disk drive is replicated on a corporate information system or is regularly backed up If both DriveLock passwords are lost the hard disk drive is rendered unusable For users who do not fit the previously defined customer profile this might not be acceptable For users who fit this profile it might be a tolerable risk given the nature of the data stored on the hard disk drive ENWW Workstation management 51 DriveLock applications The most practical use of DriveLock is in a corporate environment The system administrator would be responsible for configuring the hard disk drive which involves setting the DriveLock master password and a temporary user password If you forget the user password or if the equipment is passed on to anothe
