Description

 

 

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.

TPM Clear

NOTICE: Clearing the TPM will cause loss of all

(No default)

encryption keys in the TPM. This option will prevent

 

booting to the operating system and will result in loss

 

of data if the encryption keys cannot be restored. Be

 

sure to back up the TPM keys prior to enabling this

 

option.

 

When set to Yes, all the contents of the TPM are cleared.

 

NOTE: This field is read-only when TPM Security is set to

 

Off.

Power Button

Turns system's power off and on. On an ACPI-compliant

(Enabled default)

operating system, the system performs an orderly shutdown

 

before power is turned off.

 

The button is enabled in the System Setup program.

 

When disabled, the button can only turn on system

 

power.

 

NOTE: You can still turn on the system by using the power

 

button, even if the Power Button option is set to Disabled.

NMI Button

NOTICE: Use the NMI button only if directed to do so

(Disabled default)

by qualified support personnel or by the operating

 

system's documentation. Pressing this button halts

 

the operating system and displays a diagnostic

 

screen.

 

Sets the NMI feature to On or Off.
