About this task
CAUTION
: If you are using the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) with an encryption key, you may be prompted to create a
recovery key during program or System Setup. Work with the customer to create and safely store this recovery key. When
replacing this system board, you must supply the recovery key when you restart your system or program before you can access
the encrypted data on your hard drives.
CAUTION: Once the TPM plug-in module is installed, it is cryptographically bound to that specic 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.
