How to Install TPM for PowerEdge R760

This video walks you through the steps of removing and installing a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) on a system board. Following safety guidelines and prerequisites, the tutorial covers the delicate process of securely removing and replacing the TPM module. Learn the essential precautions and precise maneuvers for successful TPM installation.

Prerequisites
Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions.
Power off the system and all attached peripherals.
Disconnect the system from the electrical outlet and disconnect the peripherals.
If applicable, remove the system from the rack.
Remove the system cover.

NOTE:
Ensure the operating system is compatible with the TPM version you are installing.
Ensure that you download and install the latest BIOS firmware on your system.
Ensure that the BIOS is configured to enable UEFI boot mode.

CAUTION:
The TPM plug-in module is cryptographically bound to that particular system board after it is installed. When the system is powered on, any attempt to remove an installed TPM plug-in module breaks the cryptographic binding, and the removed TPM cannot be installed on another system board. Ensure any keys you have stored on the TPM have been securely transferred.

Removing the TPM:
Locate the TPM connector on the system board. For more information, see system board connectors .
Press to hold the module down and remove the screw using the security Torx 8-bit shipped with the TPM module.
Slide the TPM module out from its connector.
Push the plastic rivet away from the TPM connector and rotate it 90° counterclockwise to release it from the system board.
Pull the plastic rivet out of its slot on the system board.

Installing the TPM:
To install the TPM, align the edge connectors on the TPM with the slot on the TPM connector.
Insert the TPM into the TPM connector such that the plastic rivet aligns with the slot on the system board.
Press the plastic rivet until the rivet snaps into place.
Replace the screw that secures the TPM to the system board.
