Trusted Platform Module
i
This installation need only be performed under Windows XP. TPM is already built into
Windows Vista.
To use the TPM, you must
be sure to activate the TPM in the BIOS Setup before the software
installation
. The condition for this is that you have assigned at least the supervisor password (see
"
Set the supervisor and user passwords").
► Call up
BIOS Setup and select the Security menu.
► Select the entry
Enabled for Embedded Security Chip to activate the TPM.
If you have activated the TPM, the
Clear Security Chip option appears.
You can use this menu item to delete the holder in the TPM. However, you can then no
longer access the data you have encrypted on the holder-based keys.
!
On the TPM software CD/DVD supplied with systems preinstalled with Windows XP you will find
software that, in conjunction with the TPM, enhances the security of your system. Information on
using the TPM and the related software is provided on the TPM software CD/DVD.

If you use TPM, we strongly recommend that you use the emergency restore function and
create a storage medium (e.g. floppy disk, network drive) for restoration in emergencies.
The emergency restore medium is the only way to access your encrypted data if a security
key is lost due to hardware faults for example.
For example, with the TPM activated, data can be generated which can only be read or run on this
device. Support for security protocols, such as SSL (Secure Socket Layer) for Internet connections,
IPSec (LAN encryption), S-MIME (e-mail encryption, WLAN encryption and others) is also possible.
