Clearing the TPM
This function is used to clear all settings and keys stored inside the TPM device. After pressing
ENTER and confirming the clear request, the CP6001 will be immediately reset. Prior to exe-
cuting this function, save any changes made to the BIOS settings or they will be lost.
WARNING! Clearing the TPM results in the loss of all data (keys and other information) stored
within the TPM. The user must ensure that all PRECAUTIONS necessary to pro-
tect against data loss ARE TAKEN PRIOR to issuing this command!
For example, disable Microsoft BitLocker prior to executing this function. If Bit-
Locker is not disabled or the user does not have a record of the encryption keys,
all data protected by BitLocker will not be accessible after clearing.
Kontron disclaims any and all liability for damage or improper operation resulting
from failure of the user to comply with the above warning.

cates that no user has assumed ownership of the TPM. "Owned" indicates that a user has tak-
