Trusted platform module

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a dedicated microprocessor designed to secure hardware by integrating cryptographic keys into devices.
Software can use a Trusted Platform Module to authenticate hardware devices. Because each TPM chip has a unique and secret RSA key
which is embedded during the manufacture of the TPM, and it is capable of performing platform authentication operation.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to remove the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) from the server board. After the TPM is installed, it is
cryptographically bound to that specific server board. Any attempt to remove an installed TPM breaks the cryptographic binding,
and it cannot be re-installed or installed on another server board.

Installing trusted platform module

Prerequisites
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to remove the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) from the server board. Once the TPM is installed, it is
cryptographically bound to that specific server board. Any attempt to remove an installed TPM breaks the cryptographic binding,
and it cannot be re-installed or installed on another server board.
NOTE:
This is a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). Removal and installation procedures should be performed only by Dell certified
service technicians.
1
Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
2
Complete the procedure listed in Before working inside your system.
3
