The TPM is not a customer-removable part.
CAUTION: Any attempt to remove an installed TPM from the system board breaks or
disfigures the TPM security rivet. Upon locating a broken or disfigured rivet on an installed
TPM, administrators should consider the system compromised and take appropriate measures
to ensure the integrity of the system data.
If you suspect a TPM board failure, leave the TPM installed and remove the system board. Contact a
Hewlett Packard Enterprise authorized service provider for a replacement system board and TPM board.
CAUTION: Always observe the guidelines in this document. Failure to follow these
guidelines can cause hardware damage or halt data access.
When installing or replacing a TPM, observe the following guidelines:
•
Do not remove an installed TPM. Once installed, the TPM becomes a permanent part of the system
board.
•
When installing or replacing hardware, Hewlett Packard Enterprise service providers cannot enable
the TPM or the encryption technology. For security reasons, only the customer can enable these
features.
•
When returning a system board for service replacement, do not remove the TPM from the system
board. When requested, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Service provides a TPM with the spare system
board.
•
Any attempt to remove an installed TPM from the system board breaks or disfigures the TPM
security rivet. Upon locating a broken or disfigured rivet on an installed TPM, administrators should
consider the system compromised and take appropriate measures to ensure the integrity of the
system data.
•
When using BitLocker, always retain the recovery key/password. The recovery key/password is
required to enter Recovery Mode after BitLocker detects a possible compromise of system integrity.
•
Hewlett Packard Enterprise is not liable for blocked data access caused by improper TPM use. For
operating instructions, see the encryption technology feature documentation provided by the
operating system.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment,
remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby
button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some
internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
