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.
