  • Publication number: 20230055409
    Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device for mounting in a chassis includes a housing to be received in the chassis, and a mechanical intrusion indication segment to move from a retracted position to an extended position responsive to mounting of the housing in the electronic device. The mechanical intrusion indication segment when in the extended position is to break upon removal of the housing from the chassis. A controller is to detect an intrusion of the electronic device in response to breaking of the mechanical intrusion indication segment.

  • Patent number: 10013563
    Abstract: In accordance with these and other embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system may include a processor and a basic input/output system (BIOS) including a program of instructions. The BIOS may be configured to, when read and executed by the processor, calculate a binding secret for binding a cryptoprocessor to a motherboard of the information handling system, the binding secret based on unique identifying information of both the cryptoprocessor and the motherboard, store the binding secret in a non-volatile memory integral to the cryptoprocessor, and validate binding of the cryptoprocessor to the motherboard by comparing a subsequently-calculated binding secret to the binding secret.

  • Patent number: 7721015
    Abstract: For dynamically adjusting a color code corresponding to a task performed by an input/output (I/O) port, a retasking request for the I/O port is received. The retasking request may be generated in response to detecting a plugging in of a multimedia device into the I/O port. The retasking request includes switching the task from a first task to a second task. In response to the retasking request the task performed by the I/O port is automatically reconfigured from the first task to the second task. The color code is automatically changed from a first color code corresponding to the first task to a second color code corresponding to the second task in response to the reconfiguring, without user intervention.
