About this task
CAUTION: If you are using the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) with an encryption key, you may be prompted
to create a recovery key during program or System Setup. Work with the customer to create and safely store
this recovery key. When replacing this system board, you must supply the recovery key when you restart your
system or program before you can access the encrypted data on your hard drives.
CAUTION: Once the TPM plug-in module is installed, it is cryptographically bound to that specific system board.
Any attempt to remove an installed TPM plug-in module breaks the cryptographic binding, the removed TPM
cannot be reinstalled or installed on another system board.
