Using the security chip
Strict security requirements are imposed on network client computers that transfer confidential information
electronically. You can set the security chip in your tablet to enhance computing security. Some models
are equipped with one security chip called the firmware TPM (displayed as “Trusted Platform Module
2.0” in Device Manager). Some models are equipped with two security chips called the discrete TPM
(displayed as “Trusted Platform Module 1.2” in Device Manager) and the firmware TPM. For models with two
security chips, you can select which one you want to use in the ThinkPad Tablet Setup program by using
the instructions in this topic.
Note: Ensure that the supervisor password has been set in the ThinkPad Tablet Setup program; otherwise
anyone can change the settings for the security chip.

The Security Chip menu provides the following items for you to configure the embedded security chip. You

tablet models.
• Security Chip: Enable or disable the security chip.
• Clear Security Chip: Clear the encryption key. This option is not displayed when the security chip is

so that this option can be displayed.
