This option lets you control whether the Trsuted Platform Module (TPM) in the
system is enabled and visible to the operating system. When disabled the BIOS
will not turn On the TPM During POST. The TPM will be non-functional and
invisible to the operating system. When enabled, the BIOS will turn On the TPM
during POST so that it can be used by the operating system. This option is
disabled by default.
NOTE: Disabling this option does not change any settings you may have made
to the TPM, nor does it delete or change any information or keys you may
have stored there. It simply turns Off the TPM so that it cannot be used.
When you re-enable this option, the TPM will function exactly as it did before
it was disabled.
