Table 2-8. System Security Screen Options (continued) Option TPM Security (Off default) TPM Activation Description NOTE: The TPM Security feature is not available in China. Sets the reporting of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) in the system. NOTE: The TPM can be used by security applications, and it is capable of generating and storing keys and storing passwords and digital certificates. See support.dell.com for additional documentation on TPM technology. When set to Off (default), presence of the TPM is not reported to the operating system. When set to On with Pre-boot Measurements, the system reports the TPM to the operating system and stores the pre-boot measurements (compliant with Trusted Computing Group standards) to the TPM during POST. When set to On without Pre-boot Measurements, the system reports the TPM to the operating system and bypasses pre-boot measurements. Changes the operational state of the TPM. When set to Activate, the TPM is enabled and activated at default settings. When set to Deactivate, the TPM is disabled and deactivated. The No Change state initiates no action. The operational state of the TPM remains unchanged (all user settings for the TPM are preserved). NOTE: This field is read-only when TPM Security is set to Off. Using the System Setup Program 51
