Replacing the Trusted Platform Module

Prerequisites

CAUTION:Do not attempt to remove the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) from the system board. Once the TPM is installed, it is cryptographically bound to that specific system board. Any attempt to remove an installed TPM breaks the cryptographic binding, and it cannot be re-installed or installed on another system board.
NOTE:This is a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). Removal and installation procedures should be performed only by Dell certified service technicians.
NOTE:There is a TPM slot on the system board of each sled.

Steps

  1. Locate the TPM connector on the system board.
    NOTE:To locate the TPM connector on the system board, see the System board connectors section.
  2. Align the edge connectors on the TPM with the slot on the TPM connector.
  3. Insert the TPM into the TPM connector such that the plastic rivet aligns with the slot on the system board.
  4. Press the plastic rivet until the rivet snaps into place.
