TPM 2.0 (default) or TPM 1.2 on a supported server. In Legacy Boot Mode, the configuration can be
changed between TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0, but only TPM 1.2 operation is supported.
HPE Trusted Platform Module 2.0 Guidelines
CAUTION:
Always observe the guidelines in this document. Failure to follow these guidelines can
cause hardware damage or halt data access.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise SPECIAL REMINDER:
Before enabling TPM functionality on this system,
you must ensure that your intended use of TPM complies with relevant local laws, regulations and
policies, and approvals or licenses must be obtained if applicable.
For any compliance issues arising from your operation/usage of TPM which violates the above mentioned
requirement, you shall bear all the liabilities wholly and solely. Hewlett Packard Enterprise will not be
responsible for any related liabilities.
When installing or replacing a TPM, observe the following guidelines:
• Do not remove an installed TPM. Once installed, the TPM becomes a permanent part of the system
board.
• When installing or replacing hardware, Hewlett Packard Enterprise service providers cannot enable
the TPM or the encryption technology. For security reasons, only the customer can enable these
features.
