NOTE:
The integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) embedded security chip must be installed in

Data management functions, such as backing up and restoring the key hierarchy

digital certificate operations when using the Embedded Security software
The TPM embedded security chip enhances and enables other HP ProtectTools Security Manager for
Administrators security features. For example, Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools can use the
embedded chip as an authentication factor when the user logs on to Windows. On select models, the
TPM embedded security chip also enables enhanced BIOS security features accessed through BIOS
Configuration for HP ProtectTools.
