Trusted Platform Module

The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is used to generate and store keys, protect or authenticate passwords, and create and store digital certificates. The TPM can also be used to enable the Microsoft BitLocker hard drive encryption feature in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and newer OS versions.

In 13th generation servers, the TPM chip is on the Plug-in Module (PIM). Unlike in 12 generation servers, the TPM chip is soldered on the system board. The 13 generation TPM has to be bounded to only one system board.

The system board has a connector for the plug-in module and it is factory-installed.

There are five types of TPM chip options:

No TPM
TPM 1.2 FIPS Nuvoton
TPM 1.2 non FIPS Nuvoton
TPM 2.0 ROW Nuvoton (Post-RTS)
TPM 2.0 China NationZ (Post-RTS)

NOTE TPM is an optional module for your system and is only available from the factory. It is not offered After Point of Sales (APOS).

NOTE In a scenario where both the control panel and system board are dispatched, it is recommended to replace the control panel first and attempt a power-on to complete the Easy Restore process (Service Tag, licenses, copy to the new control panel). Then, proceed to replace the system board.
