Trusted Platform Module
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM, Cisco Product ID UCSX-TPM1-001) is a component that can
securely store artifacts used to authenticate the server. These artifacts can include passwords,
certificates, or encryption keys. A TPM can also be used to store platform measurements that help ensure
that the platform remains trustworthy. Authentication (ensuring that the platform can prove that it is what
it claims to be) and attestation (a process helping to prove that a platform is trustworthy and has not been
breached) are necessary steps to ensure safer computing in all environments.
TPM is a factory-configurable option for this server. It is a requirement for the Intel Trusted Execution
Technology (TXT) security feature, which must be enabled in the BIOS settings for a server equipped
with a TPM. A TPM can not be added later by customers, or moved from one server to another.
To enable the TPM:
Enable Quiet Mode in the BIOS policy of the server's Service Profile.
Step 1
Establish a direct connection to the server, either by connecting a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the
Step 2
front panel using a KVM dongle (N20-BKVM shown in
Reboot the server. Press F2 during reboot to enter the BIOS setup screens.
Step 3
On the Advanced tab, select Trusted Computing and press Enter.
Step 4
Set the TPM Support optionto Enable.
Step 5
Step 6 Press F10 to save and exit. Allow the server to finish booting.
