Chapter 3 Maintaining the Server

Installing or Replacing Server Components

Step 4 Verify that the TPM is now enabled.

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.Select the Advanced tab.

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

e.Verify that TPM SUPPORT is Enabled.

If you want to use the Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) feature, it must be enabled in the server BIOS as described in Enabling the Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) Feature For the TPM, page 3-45.

Enabling the Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) Feature For the TPM

Intel TXT provides greater protection for information that is used and stored on the business server. A key aspect of that protection is the provision of an isolated execution environment and associated sections of memory where operations can be conducted on sensitive data, invisibly to the rest of the system. Likewise, Intel TXT provides for a sealed portion of storage where sensitive data such as encryption keys can be kept, helping to shield them from being compromised during an attack by malicious code.

To enable the TXT feature, follow these steps:
