Installing the Trusted Platform Module board
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment,
remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby
button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some
internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
1. Power down the server (on page 22).
2. Do one of the following:
o Open or remove the tower bezel, as needed ("Open or remove the tower bezel" on page 22).
o Extend the server from the rack (on page 24).
3. Remove the server from the rack, if necessary.
4. Place the server on a flat, level work surface.
5. Remove the access panel (on page 25).
6. Remove the air baffle (on page 26).
7. Remove the fan cage (on page 26).
CAUTION: Any attempt to remove an installed TPM from the system board breaks or disfigures
the TPM security rivet. Upon locating a broken or disfigured rivet on an installed TPM,
administrators should consider the system compromised and take appropriate measures to
ensure the integrity of the system data.
8. Install the TPM board. Press down on the connector to seat the board ("System board components"
on page 13).
