This option lets you control whether the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) in the system is enabled and visible to the operating system.
When disabled (check box is empty), the BIOS will not turn on the TPM during POST. The TPM will be non-functional and invisible to the
operating system. When enabled (check box filled) the BIOS will turn the TPM on during POST so the it can be used by the operating
system.
Disabling this option does not change any settings you may have made to the TPM, nor does it delete or change any information or keys
you may have stored there. It simply turns off the TPM so that it cannot be used. When you re-enable the TPM, it will function exactly as
it did before it was disabled.
Once TPM is enabled (check box filled), the available settings are Deactivate, Activate, and Clear.
With the TPM in Deactivate mode, it will not execute any commands that use the resources of the TPM, nor will it allow any access to
stored owner information.
The Clear setting allows the owner's information stored in the TPM to be cleared. Use this to restore the TPM to its default state if you
lose or forget the owner authentication data.
This field lets you activate or disable the BIOS module interface of the optional Computrace software. The settings are Deactivate,
Disable, and Activate.
The Activate and Disable options will permanently activate or disable the feature and no further changes will be allowed.
This field enables or disables the Execute Disable mode of the processor. Use the check box to enable / disable this feature.
Default setting: Enabled
This option lets you determine whether changes to the setup option are permitted when an administrator password is set. If disabled

Use the check box to enable / disable mode for the CPU.
Use the check box to enable/disable the computer to power up from the off or hibernation state when an AC adapter is inserted.
