Installing TPM Hardware
For security purposes, the TPM is installed with a one-way screw. It cannot be removed with a standard
screwdriver.
Note
Step 1
Prepare the server for component installation:
a) Shut down and remove power from the server as described in
Shutting Down and Removing Power From the Server,
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.
If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the rack.
Caution
c) Remove the top cover from the server as described in
Removing the Server Top Cover, on page 9
Step 2
Install a TPM:
a) Locate the TPM socket on the motherboard, as shown below.
b) Align the connector that is on the bottom of the TPM circuit board with the motherboard TPM socket. Align the
screw hole on the TPM board with the screw hole that is 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.
Step 3
Replace the cover to the server.
Step 4
Reconnect power cords to all power supplies and then allow the server to boot to standby power mode (indicated when
the front panel Power button LED lights amber).
Step 5
Fully power on the server by pressing the Power button.
