Trusted Platform Module

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a dedicated microprocessor designed to secure hardware by
integrating cryptographic keys into devices. A software can use a Trusted Platform Module to
authenticate hardware devices. As each TPM chip has a unique and secret RSA key burned in as it is
produced, it can perform the platform authentication.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) from the system board.
After 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.
