Update the DMI/SMBIOS data
The Desktop Management Interface (DMI) must be updated when the system board is replaced. Use the
Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager V3 to update the DMI in the UEFI-based server.
1. Start the server and press F11 to display the Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager V3 interface.
2. From the System Summary page, click Update VPD.
3. Update the asset tag information.
Enable TPM
The server supports Trusted Platform Module (TPM) of version 2.0 or 1.2.
Note: For customers in the Chinese Mainland, integrated TPM is not supported. However, customers in the
Chinese Mainland can install a TPM adapter (sometimes called a daughter card), only version 2.0 is available.
When a system board is replaced, you must make sure that the TPM policy is set correctly.
CAUTION:
Take special care when setting the TPM policy. If it is not set correctly, the system board can become
unusable.
Set the TPM policy
By default, a replacement system board is shipped with the TPM policy set to undefined. You must modify
this setting to match the setting that was in place for the system board that is being replaced.
You can set the TPM policy from Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager V3.
Complete the following steps to set the TPM policy.
Step 1. Start the server and when prompted, press F1 to display Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager V3.
Step 2. If the power-on Administrator password is required, enter the password.
Step 3. From the System Summary page, click Update VPD.
Step 4. Set the policy to one of the following settings.
• NationZ TPM 2.0 enabled - China only. Customers in the Chinese Mainland should choose this
setting if a NationZ TPM 2.0 adapter is installed.
• TPM enabled - ROW. Customers outside of the Chinese Mainland should choose this setting.
• Permanently disabled. Customers in the Chinese Mainland should use this setting if no TPM
adapter is installed.
Although the setting undefined is available as a policy setting, it should not be used.
(Optional) assert physical presence
Before you can assert Physical Presence, the Physical Presence Policy must be enabled. By default, the
Physical Presence Policy is enabled with a timeout of 30 minutes.
If the Physical Presence Policy is enabled, you can assert Physical Presence through hardware jumpers on
the system board
Notes: If the Physical Presence Policy has been disabled:
1. Set the hardware Physical Presence jumper on the system board to assert Physical Presence.
2. Enable the Physical Presence Policy using F1 (UEFI Settings).
