CAUTION:

Always observe the TPM guidelines in this section. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause hardware damage or

halt data access.

If you do not follow procedures for modifying the server and suspending or disabling the TPM in the OS, an OS that is

using TPM might lock all data access. This includes updating system or option firmware, replacing hardware such as the

system board and drives, and modifying TPM OS settings.

Changing the TPM mode after installing an OS might cause problems, including loss of data.
