Trusted Platform Module
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a dedicated microprocessor designed to
secure hardware by integrating cryptographic keys into devices. Software can use a
TPM to authenticate hardware devices.
Because each TPM chip contains a unique and secret RSA key embedded during the
TPM's manufacture, the TPM is capable of performing platform authentication.
Upgrading Trusted Platform Module
Before you begin
l
Follow all safety guidelines.
l
Ensure that your operating system supports the version of the TPM being
installed.
l
Ensure that you download and install the latest BIOS firmware on your system.
l
Ensure that the BIOS is configured to enable UEFI boot mode.
CAUTION
After 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.
Remove the TPM
Remove the Trusted Platform Module.
Procedure
1. Locate the TPM connector on the system board.
Note
To locate the TPM connector on the system board, see System board
connectors on page 182.
2. Press to hold down the module, and then 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.
Install the TPM
Install the Trusted Platform Module.
Procedure
1. 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.
