• Any attempt to remove the cover of an installed TPM from the system board can damage the TPM
cover, the TPM, and the system board.
• If the TPM is removed from the original server and powered up on a different server, data stored in the
TPM including keys will be erased.
• When using BitLocker, always retain the recovery key/password. The recovery key/password is
required to complete Recovery Mode after BitLocker detects a possible compromise of system
integrity.
• Hewlett Packard Enterprise is not liable for blocked data access caused by improper TPM use. For
operating instructions, see the TPM documentation or the encryption technology feature
documentation provided by the operating system.
