HP Trusted Platform Module requirements
TPM installation requires the use of drive encryption technology, such as the Microsoft Windows
BitLocker Drive Encryption feature. For more information on BitLocker, see the Microsoft website
(http://www.microsoft.com).
The TPM 2.0 requires an HPE ProLiant Gen9 server with the latest BIOS operating in UEFI mode. The
TPM 2.0 option also requires a supported operating system such as Microsoft Windows Server 2012 or
later.
