Dell R805 When set to On without Pre-boot Measurements, Bypasses pre-boot measurements

Table 2-7. System Security Screen Options (continued)

Option	Description
TPM Security	Sets the reporting of the Trusted Platform Module
(Off default)	(TPM) in the system.
	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.
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.
