Installing and Enabling a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
The trusted platform module (TPM) is a small circuit board that attaches to a motherboard socket. The
socket location is on the motherboard between the power supplies and PCIe riser 2 (see
TPM 2.0 Considerations
Trusted platform module (TPM) version 2.0 is supported on Intel v3- or Intel v4-based platforms.
If there is an existing TPM 1.2 installed in the server, you cannot upgrade to TPM 2.0.
If there is no existing TPM in the server, you can install TPM 2.0. You must first upgrade to Intel v4
code, regardless of whether the installed CPU is Intel v3 or v4. TPM 2.0 requires Intel v4 code or later.
Caution
If your Intel v3 or Intel v4 system is currently supported and protected by TPM version 2.0, a potential
security exposure might occur if you downgrade the system software and BIOS to a version earlier than
those shown in
Note
If the TPM 2.0 becomes unresponsive, reboot the server.
