Trusted Platform Module (Tpm) - B&R Automation PC 3100 User Manual

2.2.6.16 Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

Depending on the configuration ordered, the system unit may contain a Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0). A TPM
is a chip that adds important security features to your device, such as improved protection of the PC against unau-
thorized tampering by third parties. Current operating systems, e.g. Windows 10, support these security functions.
Enabling the Trusted Platform Module
The TPM is disabled by default in BIOS and can be enabled in BIOS menu "Setup utility" under "Security". In ad-
dition, parameter "Platform Trust Technology" must be disabled under "Advanced - Chipset configuration". Follow
the instructions in BIOS Setup.
Using the Trusted Platform Module
The TPM can be used together with "BitLocker" drive encryption in Windows 10, for example. To do this, follow
the instructions in the operating system.
Information:
If the password for data encryption is lost, it is not possible to decrypt the data, e.g. after a BIOS update
or TPM firmware update. Access to the encrypted drive is lost. Passwords must be carefully stored
and protected from unauthorized access.
