HP Trusted Platform Module option

For more information about product features, specifications, options, configurations, and compatibility, see
the product QuickSpecs on the HP Product Bulletin website (

).

Use these instructions to install and enable a TPM on a supported server. This procedure includes three

sections:

1.

Installing the Trusted Platform Module board (on page

68

).

2.

Retaining the recovery key/password (on page

68

).

3.

Enabling the Trusted Platform Module (on page

69

).

Enabling the TPM requires accessing RBSU. For more information about RBSU, see the HP website
(

http://www.hp.com/support/rbsu

).

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

).

CAUTION:

Always observe the guidelines in this document. Failure to follow these guidelines

can cause hardware damage or halt data access.

When installing or replacing a TPM, observe the following guidelines:

Do not remove an installed TPM. Once installed, the TPM becomes a permanent part of the system
board.

When installing or replacing hardware, HP service providers cannot enable the TPM or the encryption
technology. For security reasons, only the customer can enable these features.
