Overview

Use these instructions to install and enable an HPE TPM 2.0 Gen10 Kit in a supported server blade. This option is not supported on Gen9 and earlier server blades.

This procedure includes three sections:

  1. Installing the Trusted Platform Module board.

  2. Enabling the Trusted Platform Module.

  3. Retaining the recovery key/password.

HPE TPM 2.0 installation is supported with specific operating system support such as Microsoft® Windows Server® 2012 R2 and later. For more information about operating system support, see the product QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/qs). For more information about Microsoft® Windows® BitLocker Drive Encryption feature, see the Microsoft website (http://www.microsoft.com).

CAUTION: If the TPM is removed from the original server blade and powered up on a different server blade, data stored in the TPM including keys will be erased.
IMPORTANT: In UEFI Boot Mode, the HPE TPM 2.0 Gen10 Kit can be configured to operate as TPM 2.0 (default) or TPM 1.2 on a supported server blade. In Legacy Boot Mode, the configuration can be changed between TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0, but only TPM 1.2 operation is supported.
