Option	Description
TPM Security	NOTE: The TPM Security feature is not available in China.
(Off default)	Sets the reporting of the Trusted Platform Module
	(TPM) in the system.
	NOTE: The TPM can be used by security applications, and
	it is capable of generating and storing keys and storing
	passwords and digital certificates. See support.dell.com for
	additional documentation on TPM technology.
	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.
