Enabling the Trusted Platform Module
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a component that can securely store artifacts used to authenticate the
server. These artifacts can include passwords, certificates, or encryption keys. A TPM can also be used to
store platform measurements that help ensure that the platform remains trustworthy. Authentication (ensuring
that the platform can prove that it is what it claims to be) and attestation (a process helping to prove that a
platform is trustworthy and has not been breached) are necessary steps to ensure safer computing in all
environments. It is a requirement for the Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) security feature, which
must be enabled in the BIOS settings for a server equipped with a TPM.
TPM installation is supported after-factory. However, a TPM installs with a one-way screw and cannot
be replaced or moved to another server. If a server with a TPM is returned, the replacement server must
be ordered with a new TPM.
Note
Procedure
Step 1
