functions. You can enable the Trusted Platform Module in the "Advanced" menu under
"Trusted Computing" in the BIOS Setup. Please note the respective import and export
provisions for the Trusted Platform Module.

The TPM can be used in Windows 7 with the "BitLocker" drive encrypter. Please follow the
instructions for this in the operating system.
