Chapter 3 Maintaining the Server

Installing or Replacing Server Components

Installing a Trusted Platform Module

The trusted platform module (TPM) is a small circuit board that attaches to a motherboard socket. The socket location is on the motherboard, below PCIe riser 1 (see Figure 3-25).

Note For security purposes, the TPM is installed with a one-way screw. It cannot be removed with a standard screwdriver.

To install a trusted platform module (TPM), follow these steps:

Step 1 Prepare the server for component installation.

a.Power off the server as described in the “Shutting Down and Powering Off the Server” section on page 3-7.

b.Slide the server out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might have to detach cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.

Caution If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the rack.

c.Remove the top cover as described in the “Removing and Replacing the Server Top Cover” section on page 3-8.

d.Is there a card installed in PCIe riser 1? See Figure 3-25.

•If there is no card installed in PCIe riser 1, you can access the TPM socket. Go to Step 2.

•If there is a card installed in PCIe riser 1, remove PCIe riser 1 from the chassis. See Replacing a PCIe Riser, page 3-31for details.

Step 2 Install a TPM (see Figure 3-25):

a.Locate the TPM socket on the motherboard, as shown in Figure 3-25.

b.Align the connector that is on the bottom of the TPM circuit board with the motherboard TPM socket. Align the screw hole and standoff on the TPM board with the screw hole adjacent to the TPM socket.

c.Push down evenly on the TPM to seat it in the motherboard socket.

d.Install the single one-way screw that secures the TPM to the motherboard.

e.If you removed PCIe riser 1, replace it now. Reconnect cables to the card in the riser.

f.Replace the top cover.

g.Replace the server in the rack and then power on the server by pressing the Power button.

Step 3 Enable the TPM:

a.Watch during bootup for the F2 prompt, and then press F2 to enter BIOS setup.

b.Log into the BIOS Setup utility with your BIOS Administrator password.

c.On the BIOS Setup utility screen, select the Advanced tab.

d.Select Trusted Computing to open the TPM Security Device Configuration screen.

e.Change TPM SUPPORT to Enabled.

f.Press F10 to save your settings and reboot the server.
