Option

Description

TPM Security

(Off default)

Sets the reporting of the Trusted Platform Module

(TPM) in the system.
If Off, the presence of the TPM is not reported to the

operating system.
If On with Pre-boot Measurements, the system reports

the TPM to the operating system and stores the pre-boot

measurements to the TPM during POST.
If On without Pre-boot Measurements, the system

reports the TPM to the operating system and bypasses

pre-boot measurements.

TPM Activation

When set to Activate, the TPM is enabled to default

settings. When set to Deactivate, the TPM is disabled.

The No Change state initiates no action. The operational

state of the TPM remains unchanged (all user settings for

the TPM are preserved).

NOTE:

This field is read-only when TPM Security is set to

Off.

TPM Clear

CAUTION:

Clearing the TPM will lose all encryption

keys in the TPM. This option prevents booting to the
operating system and results in data loss if the
encryption keys cannot be restored. Back up the TPM
keys prior to enabling this option.

When set to Yes, all TPM contents are cleared.

NOTE:

This field is read-only when TPM Security is set

to Off.

Intel (R) TXT

(Disabled default)

Enables/disables Trusted Execution Technology. To

enable TXT, enable & activate VT & TPM with preboot

measurement.

System Password

(Not Enabled default)

Displays the current status of the password security

feature and allows a new system password assignment and

verification.

NOTE:

See "Using the System Password" on page 49 for

more information.
