HP Trusted Platform Module installation guidelines

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.
