Installing and Enabling a Trusted Platform Module

The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a component that can securely store artifacts used to authenticate the server. These artifacts

can include passwords, certificates, or encryption keys. A TPM can also be used to store platform measurements that help ensure that

the platform remains trustworthy. Authentication (ensuring that the platform can prove that it is what it claims to be) and attestation

(a process helping to prove that a platform is trustworthy and has not been breached) are necessary steps to ensure safer computing

in all environments. It is a requirement for the Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) security feature, which must be enabled

in the BIOS settings for a server equipped with a TPM.

Note

TPM installation is supported after-factory. However, a TPM installs with a one-way screw and cannot be replaced or moved

to another server. If a server with a TPM is returned, the replacement server must be ordered with a new TPM.

Procedure

Step 1

Install the TPM hardware.

a) Power off, decommission, and remove the blade server from the chassis.

b) Remove the blade server cover.

c) Install the TPM to the TPM socket on the server motherboard and secure it using the one-way screw that is provided.

See the figure below for the location of the TPM socket.
