About this task
CAUTION:
After the TPM plug-in module is installed, it is cryptographically bound to that specific system
board. When the system is powered on, any attempt to remove an installed TPM plug-in module breaks the
cryptographic binding, and the removed TPM cannot be installed on another system board. Ensure any keys you
have stored on the TPM have been securely transferred.
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.
