Trusted Platform Module
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 has a unique and secret RSA key which is embedded
during the manufacture of the TPM, it is capable of performing platform authentication operation.
Replacing the Trusted Platform Module
Prerequisites
1 Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.
2 Follow the procedure listed in Before working inside your system.
NOTE:
• Ensure that your operating system supports the version of the TPM module being installed.
• Ensure that you download and install the latest BIOS rmware on your system.
• Ensure that the BIOS is congured to enable UEFI boot mode.
Steps
1 Locate the TPM connector on the system board.
NOTE
: To locate the TPM connector on the system board, see the System board jumpers and connectors section.
2 Press to hold the module down and 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.
6 To install the TPM, align the edge connectors on the TPM with the slot on the TPM connector.
7 Insert the TPM into the TPM connector such that the plastic rivet aligns with the slot on the system board.
