System Board Replacement – Safeguarding
Encrypted Data
If your system is configured to support the TPM feature, you can use
encryption applications to secure the contents of the hard drive(s).
NOTE:
When you use an encryption program, you are prompted to create a
recovery key during system setup. Be sure to store this recovery key. If you replace
the system board, you must supply the recovery key when you restart your system
before you can access the encrypted files on your hard drive(s).
