Trusted Platform Module (TPM) (on selected models)
The TPM, or Trusted Platform Module, is a security hardware device on the system board that will hold 
computer-generated keys for encryption. It is a hardware-based solution that an help avoid attacks by 
hackers looking to capture passwords and encryption keys to sensitive data. The TPM provides the abil-
ity to the PC or notebook to run applications more secure and to make transactions and communication 
more trustworthy.  
The security features provided by the TPM are internally supported by the following cryptographic capa-
bilities of each TPM: hashing, random number generation, asymmetric key generation, and asymmetric 
encryption/decryption. Each individual TPM on each individual computer system has a unique signature 
initialized during the silicon manufacturing process that further enhances its trust/security effectiveness. 
Each individual TPM must have an Owner before it is useful as a security device. 
TPM Applications
TPM is useful for any customer that is interested in providing an addition layer of security to the com-
puter system. The TPM, when bundled with an optional security software package, can provide overall 
system security, file protection capabilities and protect against email/privacy concerns. TPM helps 
provide security that can be stronger than that contained in the system BIOS, operating system, or any 
non-TPM application.  
Note: The TPM is disabled by default. Use BIOS setup to enable it.
Important: Use your TPM application’s “Restore” or “Migration” function to backup 
your TPM security data.
