Next steps

1. If you have unlatched or removed the cable management accessory, re-install or relatch it. For information about the cable 

management when the PSU is removed or installed while the system is in the rack, see the system’s cable management accessory 
documentation at 

www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals

.

2. Connect the power cable to the PSU, and plug the cable into a power outlet.

CAUTION: 

When connecting the power cable to the PSU, secure the cable to the PSU with the strap.

NOTE: 

When installing, hot swapping, or hot adding a new PSU, wait for 15 seconds for the system to recognize the 

PSU and determine its status. The PSU redundancy may not occur until discovery is complete. The PSU status 
indicator turns green to indicate that the PSU is functioning properly.

Trusted Platform Module

Upgrading the Trusted Platform Module

Prerequisites

NOTE: 

• Ensure that your operating system supports the version of the TPM module being installed.
• Ensure that you download and install the latest BIOS firmware on your system.
• Ensure that the BIOS is configured to enable UEFI boot mode.

About this task

CAUTION: 

Once the TPM plug-in module is installed, it is cryptographically bound to that specific system board. Any 

attempt to remove an installed TPM plug-in module breaks the cryptographic binding, the removed TPM cannot be 
reinstalled or installed on another system board.

Removing the TPM

Steps

1. Locate the TPM connector on the system board.
2. Press to hold the module down and remove the screw using the security Torx 8-bit shipped with the TPM module.
3. Slide the TPM module out from its connector.
4. Push the plastic rivet away from the TPM connector and rotate it 90° counterclockwise to release it from the system board.
5. Pull the plastic rivet out of its slot on the system board.

Installing the TPM

Steps

1. To install the TPM, align the edge connectors on the TPM with the slot on the TPM connector.
2. Insert the TPM into the TPM connector such that the plastic rivet aligns with the slot on the system board.
3. Press the plastic rivet until the rivet snaps into place.
4. Replace the screw that secures the TPM to the system board.
