Upgrading the Trusted Platform Module

Prerequisites
NOTE:
● Ensure that your operating system supports the version of the TPM module being installed.
● Ensure that you download and install the latest BIOS firmware on your system.
● Ensure that the BIOS is configured to enable UEFI boot mode.
CAUTION:
After the TPM plug-in module is installed, it is cryptographically bound to that specific system
board. When the system is powered on, any attempt to remove an installed TPM plug-in module breaks the
cryptographic binding, and the removed TPM cannot be installed on another system board. Ensure any keys you
have stored on the TPM have been securely transferred.
Removing the TPM
Steps
1. Locate the TPM connector on the system board.
2. Press to hold the module down and remove the screw using the security Torx 8-bit shipped with the TPM module.
3. Slide the TPM module out from its connector.
4. Push the plastic rivet away from the TPM connector and rotate it 90° counterclockwise to release it from the system board.
