:
1. Ensure that your operating system supports the version of the TPM module being
installed.
2. Ensure that you download and install the latest BIOS firmware on your system.
3. Ensure that the BIOS is configured to enable UEFI boot mode.
CAUTION: If you are using the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) with an encryption key, you
may be prompted to create a recovery key during program or System Setup. Work with
the customer to create and safely store this recovery key. When replacing this system
board, you must supply the recovery key when you restart your system or program before
you can access the encrypted data on your hard drives.
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
To remove the TPM follow the below 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.
