Installation and Service Manual

CAUTION: The TPM plug-in module is cryptographically bound to that particular system board after it is
installed. When the system is powered on, any attempt to remove an installed TPM plug-in module breaks the
cryptographic binding, and the removed TPM cannot be installed on another system board. Ensure any keys you
have stored on the TPM have been securely transferred.
Steps
1. Locate the TPM connector on the system board. For more information, see System board connectors.
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.
