Clear Text Backup (Optional) 
This option is not recommended because it carries the risk of the data being exposed during backup 
or restore procedures.  It is recommended that system owners should follow the Hard Drive Image 
Backup Procedures
.  The advantage of the clear text backup is that no TPM key is required to 
restore the data.  To perform a back up of data in clear text, decrypt the files by moving them from 
secured programs or drive letters to an unencrypted directory.  The unencrypted (clear text) files 
may then be backed up to removable media and stored in a secure location. 
Trusted Platform Module Ownership
 
The TPM is disabled by default and the owner/end customer of the system assumes “Ownership” of 
the TPM by enabling and initializing it.  This permits the owner of the system to control 
initialization of the TPM.  The owner of the system must also create all the passwords associated 
with the TPM that is used to protect their keys, data, and privacy.  See the detailed instructions in 
Enabling the Trusted Platform Module
System builders/Integrators may install both the Infineon Security Platform software and the Wave 
System EMBASSY Trust Suite, but SHOULD NOT attempt to use or activate the TPM or either 
software package.   
 
NOTE 
System Builders should pass the Trusted Platform Module Quick Reference (included with the 
desktop board) to the system owner to assist them in enabling and initializing the TPM. 
Enabling the Trusted Platform Module 
The TPM is disabled by default to insure that the owner/end customer of the system initializes the 
TPM and configures all security passwords.  The owner/end customer should use the following 
steps to enable the TPM. 
1.  While the system is displaying the splash screen (or POST screen), press the <F2> key to enter 
the BIOS setup program. 
2.  Use the arrow keys to go to the Advanced Menu, select Peripheral Configuration, and then 
press the <Enter> key. 
3.  Select the Trusted Platform Module, press <Enter>, and select Enabled and press <Enter> again 
(display should show: Trusted Platform Module [Enabled]). 
4.  Press the <F10> key, select Ok and press <Enter>. 
5.  The system should reboot and start Microsoft Windows.
