Notes on Using the TPM
<TPM security chip equipped models>
Before using the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), read the following precautions for correct
use.
Notes on the BIOS settings
Resetting the TPM settings in the BIOS setup screen makes your TPM-encrypted data
inaccessible. If you have the TPM-encrypted data, make a backup copy before resetting
the settings, if needed.
Before enabling the TPM in the BIOS setup screen, set the BIOS password [Details] to
prevent unauthorized users from changing the TPM settings.
Notes on data management with the TPM
The TPM security feature on your VAIO computer does not ensure complete security of
your data and hardware.
Sony assumes no liability for any problems and damage arising out of your use of or
inability to use the TPM.
Back up your data on the TPM or the built-in storage device before sending your VAIO
computer for repair, and keep your backup data private from other users.
Sony assumes no liability for any data loss arising out of repairs.
The TPM will also be replaced if your computer motherboard needs replacement during
the course of repair.
Perform the operation and maintenance of the TPM-related data at your own risk. Sony
assumes no liability for any problems arising out of your operation and maintenance.
