Replacing an Internal SD Card
Installing a Trusted Platform Module
The trusted platform module (TPM) is a small circuit board that attaches to a motherboard socket. The
socket location is on the motherboard, underneath PCIe riser 1 (see
Note
For security purposes, the TPM is installed with a one-way screw. It cannot be removed with a standard
screwdriver.
To install a trusted platform module (TPM), follow these steps:
Step 1
Prepare the server for component installation.
a.
Power off the server as described in the
“Shutting Down and Powering Off the Server” section on
b.
Slide the server out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might
have to detach cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.
Caution
If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the rack.
c.
Remove the top cover as described in the
“Removing and Replacing the Server Top Cover” section
.
d.
Is there a card installed in PCIe riser 1? See
•
If there is no card installed in PCIe riser 1, you can access the TPM socket. Go to
.
•
If there is a card installed in PCIe riser 1, you must remove the riser. Use the finger holes on the top
of PCIe riser 1 to lift straight up on both ends and disengage its circuit board from the socket on the
motherboard. Set the riser aside on an antistatic mat.
Step 2
Install a TPM (see
a.
Locate the TPM socket on the motherboard, as shown in
b.
Align the connector that is on the bottom of the TPM circuit board with the motherboard TPM
socket. Align the screw hole and standoff on the TPM board with the screw hole adjacent to the TPM
socket.
c.
Push down evenly on the TPM to seat it in the motherboard socket.
d.
Install the single one-way screw that secures the TPM to the motherboard.
e.
If you removed PCIe riser 1, replace it now.
f.
Replace the top cover.
g.
Replace the server in the rack, replace cables, and then power on the server by pressing the
Power
button.
Step 3
Enable the TPM:
a.
Watch during bootup for the F2 prompt, and then press
F2
to enter BIOS setup.
b.
Log into the BIOS Setup utility with your BIOS Administrator password.
c.
On the BIOS Setup utility screen, select the
Advanced
tab.
d.
Select
Trusted Computing
to open the TPM Security Device Configuration screen.
e.
Change TPM SUPPORT to
Enabled
