HP Trusted Platform Module option
For more information about product features, specifications, options, configurations, and compatibility, see
the product QuickSpecs on the HP Product Bulletin website (http://www.hp.com/go/productbulletin).
Use these instructions to install and enable a TPM on a supported server. This procedure includes three
sections:
1. Installing the Trusted Platform Module board.
2. Retaining the recovery key/password (on page 107).
3. Enabling the Trusted Platform Module (on page 108).
Enabling the TPM requires accessing RBSU ("HP ROM-Based Setup Utility" on page 115). For more
information about RBSU, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/rbsu).
TPM installation requires the use of drive encryption technology, such as the Microsoft Windows BitLocker
Drive Encryption feature. For more information on BitLocker, see the Microsoft website
(http://www.microsoft.com).
CAUTION: Always observe the guidelines in this document. Failure to follow these guidelines
can cause hardware damage or halt data access.
When installing or replacing a TPM, observe the following guidelines:
• Do not remove an installed TPM. Once installed, the TPM becomes a permanent part of the system
board.
• When installing or replacing hardware, HP service providers cannot enable the TPM or the encryption
technology. For security reasons, only the customer can enable these features.
• When returning a system board for service replacement, do not remove the TPM from the system board.
When requested, HP Service provides a TPM with the spare system board.
• Any attempt to remove an installed TPM from the system board breaks or disfigures the TPM security
rivet. Upon locating a broken or disfigured rivet on an installed TPM, administrators should consider the
system compromised and take appropriate measures to ensure the integrity of the system data.
• When using BitLocker, always retain the recovery key/password. The recovery key/password is
required to enter Recovery Mode after BitLocker detects a possible compromise of system integrity.
• HP is not liable for blocked data access caused by improper TPM use. For operating instructions, see the
encryption technology feature documentation provided by the operating system.
