TPM Activation

When set to Activate, the TPM is enabled to default

(No Change default)

settings. When set to Deactivate, the TPM is disabled.

 

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

CAUTION: Clearing the TPM will lose all encryption

(No default)

keys in the TPM. This option prevents booting to the

 

operating system and results in data loss if the

 

encryption keys cannot be restored. Back up the TPM

 

keys prior to enabling this option.

 

When set to Yes, all TPM contents are cleared.

 

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

 

Off.

If Enabled, the power button can turn the system's power

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

CAUTION: Use the NMI button only if directed to do

(Disabled default)

so by qualified support personnel or by the operating

 

system's documentation. Pressing this button halts

 

the operating system and displays a diagnostic

 

screen.
