Installing the Trusted Platform Module

Prerequisites
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only
perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as
directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is
not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions
that are shipped with your product.
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.
1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
2. Follow the procedure listed in the Before working inside your system section.
Steps
1. Locate the TPM connector on the system board.
NOTE: To locate the TPM connector on the system board, see the System board connectors
section.
2. Align the edge connectors on the TPM with the slot on the TPM connector.
3. Insert the TPM into the TPM connector such that the plastic rivet aligns with the slot on the system
board.
4. Press the plastic rivet until the rivet snaps into place.
