4.8 Replacing the system board
I The system board is optionally equipped with a TPM (Trusted Platform
Module) by the manufacturer. This module enables programs from third
party manufacturers to store key information (e.g. drive encryption using
Windows Bitlocker Drive Encryption).
The TPM is activated via the BIOS system (for more information, refer to
the Fujitsu Siemens Computers BIOS manual).
V CAUTION!
– Before replacing the system board, ask your customer if he is using
TPM functionality.
– If the customer is using TPM functionality, remove the TPM from the
old system board and install it on the new system board. Advise him
that he must provide you with TPM backup copies. For security
reasons, the TPM must be restored/re-saved by the customer.
After installing a new system board the TPM must be enabled. You
may not clear the TPM data..
