Trusted Platform Module
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a dedicated microprocessor designed to secure hardware by integrating cryptographic keys into devices.
Software can use a TPM to authenticate hardware devices. Because each TPM chip has a unique and secret RSA key which is embedded
during the manufacture of the TPM, it is capable of performing platform authentication operation.
Replacing the Trusted Platform Module
Prerequisites
NOTE
: There is a TPM slot on the system board of each sled.
1 Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.
2 Follow the procedure listed in Before working inside your system.
NOTE
:
• Ensure that your operating system supports the version of the TPM module being installed.
• Ensure that you download and install the latest BIOS rmware on your system.
• Ensure that the BIOS is congured to enable UEFI boot mode.
About this task
CAUTION
: If you are using the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) with an encryption key, you may be prompted to create a
recovery key during program or System Setup. Work with the customer to create and safely store this recovery key. When
replacing this system board, you must supply the recovery key when you restart your system or program before you can access
the encrypted data on your hard drives.
