Enabling the Trusted Platform Module

Procedure
  1. To access the Aptio Setup Utility, on the enter setup prompt, press the F2 or Del key.
  2. Select Advanced > Trusted Computing, and then press the Enter key.
  3. Verify that the TPM device name is displayed.
  4. To exit the utility, press the Esc key.

    The server reboots without user input. During this system reboot, the TPM is enabled.

  5. Enable TPM functionality in the OS, such as Microsoft Windows BitLocker or measured boot.
    CAUTION:

    When a TPM is installed and enabled on the server, data access is locked if you fail to follow the proper procedures for updating the system or option firmware, replacing the system board, replacing a hard drive, or modifying OS application TPM settings.

    For more information on adjusting TPM usage in BitLocker, see the Microsoft website:
