Clearing Trusted Platform Module Ownership

WARNING

Disconnect the desktop board's power supply from its AC power source before you connect or disconnect cables, or install or remove any board components. Failure to do this can result in personal injury or equipment damage. Some circuitry on the desktop board can continue to operate even though the front panel power switch is off.

CAUTION

DATA ENCRYPTED BY ANY PROGRAM UTILIZING THE TPM WILL BECOME INACCESSIBLE IF TPM OWNERSHIP IS CLEARED. Recovery procedures may allow the migratable keys to be recovered and might restore access to encrypted data. (Review the Recovery Procedures for detailed instructions).

The TPM may be cleared to transfer ownership of the platform to a new owner.

1.Observe precautions in the above WARNING then open the system case.

2.Move the configuration jumper on the board to pins 2-3.

3.Restore power to the PC and power on.

4.System should automatically enter BIOS setup.

5.Use the arrow keys to select Clear Trusted Platform Module, press <Enter>.

6.If you agree to the warning message select Ok and press <Enter>.

7.Press the <F10> key to save and exit, select Ok and press <Enter>.

8.Power off the system.

9.Review precautions in the WARNING above.

10.Restore the configuration jumper on the board to pins 1-2.

When cleared, the TPM module is disabled by default.
