HP Trusted Platform Module option

Use these instructions to install and enable a TPM on a supported server blade. This procedure includes three
sections:

1.

Installing the Trusted Platform Module board.

2.

Retaining the recovery key/password (on page

3.

Enabling the Trusted Platform Module (on page

Enabling the TPM requires accessing the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) ("

Utility

" on page

68

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

(

http://www.hp.com/support/smartstart/documentation

).

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.
