3. If the item is set to HIdden, the TPM device is not visible to the
operating system.
4. If the TPM device setting is set to Hidden, the BIOS hides this
item. If the TPM Device setting changes from Hidden to Avail-
able, the BIOS makes this item visible immediately without a
restart.
The TPM state setting is saved when the TPM Device setting
changes to Hidden and is restored when it is changed back to
Available.
The TPM State setting can change only if you confirm the
request via the Physical Presence check prompted by the BIOS
during the next startup.

the clear TPM operation.
The Clear TPM settings is also set to No without any action
taken if you select No for the Physical Prsenece check.

defaults. For example, TPM device will be cleared and set to
default shipping state.
