System Security
Using BIOS TPM Setup, the operator can turn ON or OFF TPM functionality and clear the TPM
ownership contents. After the requested TPM BIOS Setup operation is carried out, the option
reverts to No Operation.
The BIOS TPM Setup also displays the current state of the TPM, whether TPM is enabled or
disabled and activated or deactivated. Note that while using TPM, a TPM-enabled operating
system or application may change the TPM state independent of the BIOS setup. When an
operating system modifies the TPM state, the BIOS Setup displays the updated TPM state.
The BIOS Setup TPM Clear option allows the operator to clear the TPM ownership key and
allows the operator to take control of the system with TPM. You use this option to clear
security settings for a newly initialized system or to clear a system for which the TPM
ownership security key was lost.
