). For more information about RBSU, see the HP website

).

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

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.
