TPM Security
(Off default) Sets the reporting of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) in
the system.
When set to Off (default), presence of the TPM is not reported
to the operating system.
When set to On with Pre-boot Measurements, the system
reports the TPM to the operating system and stores the pre-boot
measurements (compliant with Trusted Computing Group
standards) to the TPM during POST.
When set to On without Pre-boot Measurements, the system
reports the TPM to the operating system and bypasses pre-boot
measurements.
TPM Activation Changes the operational state of the TPM.
When set to Activate, the TPM is enabled and activated at
default settings.
When set to Deactivate, the TPM is disabled and deactivated.
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.
