HP Trusted Platform Module information

The TPM is a hardware-based system security feature. It can store information securely, such as passwords and encryption keys, which can be used to authenticate the platform.

TPM installation requires the use of drive encryption technology, such as the Microsoft Windows BitLocker Encryption feature. BitLocker is a data protection feature available in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and later operating systems. It helps protect user data and ensure that a server running Windows Server has not been tampered with while the system was offline. For more information on BitLocker, see the Microsoft website.

This server supports TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0. However, once the TPM version 1.2 is installed on the system board, it can no longer be upgraded to the TPM version 2.0.
