Steps
1. Turn on the system.
If BIOS detects a new system board, and if the Service Tag is present in the backup flash device, BIOS displays the Service
Tag, the status of the license, and the UEFI Diagnostics version.
2. Perform one of the following steps:
● Press Y to restore the Service Tag, license, and diagnostics information.
● Press N to navigate to the Dell Lifecycle Controller based restore options.
● Press F10 to restore data from a previously created Hardware Server Profile.
After the restore process is complete, BIOS prompts to restore the system configuration data.
3. Perform one of the following steps:
●
Press Y to restore the system configuration data.
● Press N to use the default configuration settings.
After the restore process is complete, the system restarts.
Trusted Platform Module
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a dedicated microprocessor designed to secure hardware by integrating cryptographic keys
into devices. A software can use a Trusted Platform Module to authenticate hardware devices. As each TPM chip has a unique
and secret RSA key burned in as it is produced, it can perform the platform authentication.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) from the system board. After the TPM
is installed, it is cryptographically bound to that specific system board. Any attempt to remove an installed TPM
breaks the cryptographic binding, and it cannot be re-installed or installed on another system board.
NOTE: This is a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). Removal and installation procedures must be performed only by Dell certified
service technicians.
Installing the Trusted Platform Module
Prerequisites
CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform
troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or
telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by
your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that are shipped with your product.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) from the system board. Once the TPM
is installed, it is cryptographically bound to that specific system board. Any attempt to remove an installed TPM
breaks the cryptographic binding, and it cannot be re-installed or installed on another system board.
1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
2. Follow the procedure listed in the Before working inside your system section.
Steps
1. Locate the TPM connector on the system board.
NOTE: To locate the TPM connector on the system board, see the System board connectors section.
2. Align the edge connectors on the TPM with the slot on the TPM connector.
3. Insert the TPM into the TPM connector such that the plastic rivet aligns with the slot on the system board.
4. Press the plastic rivet until the rivet snaps into place.
