Enabling a Trusted Platform Module The Trusted Platform Module TPM Cisco Product ID UCSX TPM2 001 is a component that can securely store artifacts used to authenticate the server These artifacts can include passwords certificates or encryption keys A TPM can also be used to store platform measurements that help ensure that the platform remains trustworthy Authentication ensuring that the platform can prove that it is what it claims to be and attestation a process helping to prove that a platform is trustworthy and has not been breached are necessary steps to ensure safer computing in all environments A TPM is a factory configurable option for this server It is a requirement for the Intel Trusted Execution Technology TXT security feature which must be enabled in the BIOS settings for a server equipped with a TPM A TPM can not be moved from one server to another 26 Procedure Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Enable Quiet Mode in the BIOS policy of the server s service profile Establish a direct connection to the server either by connecting a keyboard monitor and mouse to the front panel using a KVM dongle N20 BK VM or by other means Reboot the server Press F2 during reboot to enter the BIOS setup screens On the Advanced tab select Trusted Computing and press Enter Set the TPM Support option to Enable Press F10 to save and exit Allow the server to finish booting Server Troublesh
