Replacement routines Replacing the system board
4.10 Replacing the system board
I The system board is optional 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
the TPM functionality.
– If the customer is using the TPM functionality, advise him that he must
provide you with the TPM backup copies. For security reasons, the
TPM must be restored/re-saved by the customer.
If the customer DOES NOT have a backup copy, inform him that
replacing the system board will cause him to lose all his data.
