☑️ Key Features
- Hardware-rooted security for key storage and platform measurements

- Supported across a wide range of Gen8 and Gen9 ProLiant platforms
- Simple enable/ownership flow via System ROM/BIOS security menus
⚙️ Fit Notes
- One TPM per system. Do not install alongside any other TPM module.
- This is a TPM 1.2 module. If your use case requires TPM 2.0 (for example specific Windows 11 requirements), use the appropriate TPM 2.0 option for Gen9 systems (e.g., HPE 745823-B21) and update system ROM as required.
- Install with the supplied one-way rivet only after functionality is verified; removal requires service procedures.
- After installation, enable the TPM and take ownership in the System ROM security menu, then configure your OS features (BitLocker, etc.).
