1. Power on or restart the Sahara NetSlate. When the

TabletKiosk logo screen appears, hit the

key on the

keyboard to enter the BIOS.

NOTE: If you are having trouble getting into the BIOS, you can press

multiple times after the TabletKiosk logo screen appears

until you finally see the BIOS Menu appear. Alternatively, you can also

press the “Rotate Screen” function button on the front of the tablet to

enter the BIOS.

2. When the BIOS Menu appears, press the right arrow key to

navigate to the “Advanced” menu screen. Use the down
arrow key to highlight the “Trusted Computing” option and
press

3. In the Trusted Computing screen, press

and select

“Yes” to enable TCG/TPM Support.

4. Hit the down arrow key to highlight the “Execute TPM

Command” and press the

key to open the Options

menu. From the menu, use the down arrow key to highlight
“Enabled” and press

to enable the TPM module.

5. Press the

key to save changes to the BIOS and restart the

computer.

NOTE: If at any point you wish to clear the TPM module’s information

and return the Sahara NetSlate to its original “unowned” state, use the

arrow key to highlight “Clearing the TPM” and press

. This will

open a menu confirming that you wish to return the TPM to its factory

defaults. Press

to clear the TPM, or press

to cancel without

clearing the TPM.

VERY IMPORTANT: If you lose your password and decide to clear the

TPM, know that you will forever lose access to any data on the hard

drive that is encrypted using the TPM’s current encryption key. Make

sure that any data you wish to access in the future has been backed up

in an unencrypted form before clearing the TPM.
