Option Description
TPM Security This option lets you control whether the Trusted Platform Module
(TPM) in the system is enabled and visible to the operating system.
When disabled the BIOS will not turn On the TPM During POST. The
TPM will be non-functional and invisible to the operating system. When
enabled, the BIOS will turn On the TPM during POST so that it can be
used by the operating system. This option is Enable by default.
NOTE: Disabling this option does not change any settings you may
have made to the TPM, nor does it delete or change any
information or keys you may have stored there. It simply turns Off
the TPM so that it cannot be used. When you re-enable this option,
the TPM will function exactly as it did before it was disabled.
NOTE: Changes to this option take effect immediately.
