Trusted Platform Module

The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is used to generate or store keys, protect or authenticate passwords,
and create or store digital certificates. TPM can also be used to enable the BitLocker hard drive
encryption feature on a Windows Server.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) from the system board.
Once the TPM is installed, it is cryptographically bound to that specific system board. Any
attempt to remove an installed TPM breaks the cryptographic binding, and it cannot be re-
installed or installed on another system board.
NOTE: This is a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). Removal and installation procedures must be
performed only by Dell certified service technicians.
