Trusted Platform Module Upgrading the Trusted Platform Module Prerequisites 1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions on page 66. 2. Follow the procedure listed in Before working inside your system on page 67. NOTE: • Ensure that your operating system supports the version of the TPM module being installed. • Ensure that you download and install the latest BIOS firmware on your system. • Ensure that the BIOS is configured to enable UEFI boot mode. About this task CAUTION: Once the TPM plug-in module is installed, it is cryptographically bound to that specific system board. Any attempt to remove an installed TPM plug-in module breaks the cryptographic binding, the removed TPM cannot be reinstalled or installed on another system board. Removing the TPM Steps 1. Locate the TPM connector on the system board. NOTE: To locate the TPM connector on the system board, see the Jumpers and connectors on page 171 section. 2. Press to hold the module down and remove the screw using the security Torx 8-bit shipped with the TPM module. 3. Slide the TPM module out from its connector. 4. Push the plastic rivet away from the TPM connector and rotate it 90° counterclockwise to release it from the system board. 5. Pull the plastic rivet out of its slot on the system board. Installing the TPM Steps 1. To install the TPM, align the edge connectors on the TPM with the slot on the TPM connector. 2. Insert the TPM into the TPM connector such that the plastic rivet aligns with the slot on the system board. 3. Press the plastic rivet until the rivet snaps into place. Figure 129.
