Before setting up the TPM functions you must initialize the security platform.
Initializing TPM
1. Restart the computer.
2. Enter the PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility by pressing F2 during the POST (or press
Enter and select Launch System Setup).
3. Use the arrow keys to select the Security menu.
4. Select TPM Protection and set the item to Disabled.
5. Select TPM Function and set the item to Enabled (or Clear & Enabled if you
want to clear previous TPM information).
6. Press F10 to save the changed BIOS information, exit the BIOS and restart the
computer.
Backup & Archive
Note that it is very im-
portant to perform rou-
tine backup and archive
procedures.
This is the only way to
recover if the TPM fails,
the information is
cleared or the computer
develops a problem.
Backup should be per-
formed to a location oth-
er than the computer
itself. It is not possible to
recover any TPM pro-
tected data if there is no
backup available.
