HPE Trusted Platform Module 2.0 Guidelines


CAUTION:
Always observe the guidelines in this document. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause hardware
damage or halt data access.

When installing or replacing a TPM, observe the following guidelines:


• Do not remove an installed TPM. Once installed, the TPM is bound to the system board. If an OS is
configured to use the TPM and it is removed, the OS may go into recovery mode, data loss can occur, or
both.
• When installing or replacing hardware, Hewlett Packard Enterprise service providers cannot enable the
TPM or the encryption technology. For security reasons, only the customer can enable these features.
• When returning a system board for service replacement, do not remove the TPM from the system board.
When requested, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Service provides a TPM with the spare system board.
• Any attempt to remove the cover of an installed TPM from the system board can damage the TPM cover,
the TPM, and the system board.
• If the TPM is removed from the original compute module and powered up on a different compute module,
data stored in the TPM including keys will be erased.
• When using BitLocker, always retain the recovery key/password. The recovery key/password is required to
complete Recovery Mode after BitLocker detects a possible compromise of system integrity or system
configuration.
• Hewlett Packard Enterprise is not liable for blocked data access caused by improper TPM use. For
operating instructions, see the TPM documentation or the encryption technology feature documentation
provided by the operating system.

Electrostatic discharge
Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you must follow when setting up the system or
handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or
other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.

Procedure
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge


Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or
installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps
are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide
proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
• Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when
standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
• Use conductive field service tools.
• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller install
the part.
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise Support Center.
