Enabling the TPM requires accessing RBSU ("

HP ROM-Based Setup Utility

" on page

102

). 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.

When returning a system board for service replacement, do not remove the TPM from the system board.
When requested, HP Service provides a TPM with the spare system board.

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.

When using BitLocker, always retain the recovery key/password. The recovery key/password is

required to enter Recovery Mode after BitLocker detects a possible compromise of system integrity.

HP is not liable for blocked data access caused by improper TPM use. For operating instructions, see the

encryption technology feature documentation provided by the operating system.
