Abstract
Examples described herein relate to a method for managing hardware changes at an enclosure and a server. The enclosure includes a server and multiple hardware devices connected to the enclosure. A chassis manager in the enclosure is communicatively coupled to a manageability controller of the server and the multiple hardware devices. On enabling tamper detection, the manageability controller and the chassis manager monitor the hardware devices for determining changes in the hardware devices. A change in a hardware device is compared with a permissible hardware change to determine whether the change in the hardware device is unauthorized. The permissible hardware changes include changes in hardware devices that are permitted by a customer. Security actions are performed at the server and the enclosure if unauthorized changes in the hardware device are detected by the manageability controller and chassis manager.
