BIOS Setup
Trusted Computing
TCG/TPM Support
This setting controls the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) designed by the Trusted
Computing Group (TCG). TPMs are special-purpose integrated circuits (ICs)
built into a variety of platforms to enable strong user authentication and machine
attestation
essential to prevent inappropriate access to confidential and sen-
sitive information and to protect against
compromised networks.
Execute TPM Command
TPM commands are managed through a child node of the TPM Management
console named Command Management. To block or allow a TPM command is a
task that local administrators can perform during the setup or re-configuration
of a TPM-equipped computer.
Clearing the TPM
When the TPM is cleared, all the keys you previously had stored on your vault
will be lost. You should create an archive of your TPM Keys before clearing the
TPM. To recover your TPM keys, you will need to restore your keys from an
archive.
TPM Enable/Disable Status
This setting displays the TPM enable/disable status. Read only.
TPM Owner Status
This setting shows the TPM ownership. Read only.
