Installing And Enabling The Hpe Tpm 2.0 Gen10 Option - HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus User Manual

• 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 the cover of an installed TPM from the system board can damage the TPM cover, the TPM,
and the system board.
• If the TPM is removed from the original server and powered up on a different server, all data stored in the TPM
including keys will be erased.
• When using BitLocker, always retain the recovery key/password. The recovery key/password is required to complete
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 TPM documentation or the encryption technology feature documentation provided by the
operating system.
