Trusted Platform Module
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is used to generate/store keys, protect/authenticate passwords, and
create/store digital certificates. TPM can also be used to enable the BitLocker hard drive encryption
feature in Windows Server.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) from the system board.
Once the TPM is installed, it is cryptographically bound to that specific system board. Any
attempt to remove an installed TPM breaks the cryptographic binding, and it cannot be re-
installed or installed on another system board.
