The Trusted Platform Module is disabled by default when shipped 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 PC is displaying the splash screen (or POST screen), press the 

<F2> key to enter BIOS. 

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 [Enable]). 

4.  Press the <F10> key, and press Y. 
5.  The system should reboot and start Microsoft Windows. 

Once the TPM has been enabled, ownership must be assumed by using the 
EMBASSY Security Center.  The owner/end user should follow the steps listed 
below to take ownership of the TPM: 
1.  Start the system. 
2.  Launch the EMBASSY Security Center. 
3.  Select the Owner tab and click on the Establish button. 
4.  Create the Owner password (before creating any password, review the 

Password Recommendations made earlier in this document). 

5.  After successfully taking ownership of the TPM, select the User tab and 

click on the Initialize button. 

6.  Enter the Windows login password to create and synchronize the TCG 

Security Vault Password. 

7.  To create an archive of the TPM keys, select the Key Manager icon on the 

left side of the EMBASSY Security Center and click on the Archive 
button. 

8.  Choose a location to save the TPM Key Archive file (removable media 

recommended; see Emergency Recovery File Back Up Procedures for 
more information).  

9.  Create a password to protect the TPM Key Archive (this password should 

not match the Owner password or any other password). 

10.  Enter the Owner password when prompted.
