Support for Secured Component Verification

With the release of v5.0, Dell Trusted Device now provides support for Secured Component Verification. Secured Component Verification (SCV) is an additional supply chain assurance offering that enables customers to verify that the hardware components of the Dell system (PC) that have been purchased and received match the components that were manufactured and/or assembled in the factory.

SCV verifies a number of components, including:

• • Processor (CPU)
