HP ProLiant SL250s Gen8 Server - Manual (Page 71)

Hardware options installation 71
• 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.
