Option	Description
TPM Security	Sets the reporting of the Trusted Platform Module
(Off default)	(TPM) in the system.
	NOTE: The TPM is a microchip that is integrated into the
	system board, and it can be used by both operating systems
	and programs. It is capable of creating, storing, and
	protecting cryptographic keys. See support.dell.com for
	additional TPM documentation.
	When set to Off (default), presence of the TPM is not
	reported to the operating system.
	When set to On with Pre-boot Measurements, the
	system reports the TPM to the operating system and
	stores the pre-boot measurements (compliant with
	Trusted Computing Group standards) to the TPM during
	POST.
	When set to On without Pre-boot Measurements, the
	system reports the TPM to the operating system and
	bypasses pre-boot measurements.
TPM Activation	Changes the operational state of the TPM.
	When set to Activate, the TPM is enabled and activated
	at default settings.
	When set to Deactivate, the TPM is disabled and
	deactivated.
	The No Change state initiates no action. The operational
	state of the TPM remains unchanged (all user settings for
	the TPM are preserved).
	NOTE: This field is read-only when TPM Security is set to
	Off.
