NOTE:
Systems that are shipping in China are not equipped with TPM.

system supports TPM.
System Interrupts
Assignment
(Standard default) This field controls the interrupt assignment for PCI devices in
the system. When set to Distributed, interrupt routing is
swizzled to minimize IRQ sharing among devices.
Table 1-6. New System Security Screen Options
Option Description
TPM Security
(Off default) Sets the reporting of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
in the system.
When set to Off (default), presence of the TPM is not
reported to the operating system.
When set to On with Pre-boot Measurements, the system
reports the TPM to the operating system and stores the
pre-boot measurements (compliant with Trusted
Computing Group standards) to the TPM during POST.
When set to On without Pre-boot Measurements, the
system reports the TPM to the operating system and
bypasses pre-boot measurements.
TPM Activation Changes the operational state of the TPM.
When set to Activate, the TPM is enabled and activated
at default settings.
When set to Deactivate, the TPM is disabled and
deactivated.
The No Change state initiates no action. The operational
state of the TPM remains unchanged (all user settings for
the TPM are preserved).
NOTE:
This field is read-only when TPM Security is set
to Off.
