You can purchase a TPM from the Lenovo Web site at:

2. On the System Security menu, select TPM Settings TPM Support. Ensure that TPM Support is

set to Enabled.

3. When TPM Support is set to Enabled, the TPM State item is displayed. Set TPM State to Enabled.

4. Press F10 to save settings and exit the Setup Utility program. The server will restart to enable the

TPM function.
