To use the TPM, you must activate the TPM in the BIOS Setup before the software
is installed. The condition for this is that you have assigned at least the supervisor
HDD password (see
"Security functions", Page 53 ).

• Requirement: You have assigned a supervisor HDD password, see "Security functions", Page 53 .
► Call up the BIOS Setup and select the Security menu.
► Mark the TPM (Security Chip) Setting fi eld and press the Enter key.
► Select the “Security Chip” “Enabled” entry to activate the TPM.
Once you have activated the TPM through a reboot, the Clear Security Chip option appears.
With Clear Security Chip
, you can delete the owner in the TPM, if the TPM has already
been used. With Enabled , all secret keys (e.g. SRK - Storage Root Keys, AIK -
Attestation Identity Keys etc.) generated by applications are deleted.
Please note that you will then no longer be able to access the data you have
encrypted with the keys based on that holder.
