Trusted Platform Module Header

Pin Definitions

Trusted Platform Module Header

This header is used to connect a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), available separately from a third-party vendor. A TPM is a security device that allows for encryption and authen- tication of hard drives, disallowing access if the TPM associated with it is not installed in the system. See the table on the right for pin definitions.
