1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration
→BIOS/Platform Configuration
(RBSU)
→Server Security and select Trusted Platform Module Options and press Enter.
2. For servers configured with an optional TPM, the following configuration option is available:
•
“Setting TPM Functionality” (page 78)
IMPORTANT: TPM menus appear only if the TPM kit is installed.
Setting TPM Functionality
This option controls Trusted Platform Module functionality at startup. Options include:
•
Enabled—Enables the TPM and BIOS secure startup. The TPM is fully functional in this mode.
•
Disabled (default)—Disables the BIOS secure startup, but still allows the TPM to be visible to
the operating system. The TPM functionality is limited, but can respond to most commands in
this mode. Selecting Disabled might prevent the server from booting to a TPM-aware operating
system.
CAUTION: A TPM locks all data access if proper procedures are not followed for modifying the
server, including: updating system or option firmware, replacing hardware such as the system
board and hard drive, or modifying TPM OS settings.
Intelligent Provisioning Quick Configs settings and corresponding RBSU settings
Intelligent Provisioning Quick Configs options provide the capability to select a basic policy for
performance versus power usage, without having to configure individual settings through RBSU
menus.
For more information about the Intelligent Provisioning Quick Configs profiles and their
corresponding option settings, see the HP Intelligent Provisioning User Guide.
