MS-4136 – TPM 2.0 Security Module – 14-1 Pin LPC Header (Discrete TPM)
Hardware root-of-trust add-in card for motherboards that provide a 14-1 pin LPC TPM header. Enables BitLocker, measured boot, device identity, and platform attestation on systems that require a discrete TPM 2.0 device.
Technical Specifications
- TPM Version: 2.0
- Header Type: 14-1 pin LPC TPM (board silkscreened “TPM”)
- Form Factor: Small plug-in daughtercard for onboard header
- Functions: Secure key storage, random number generation, PCR/attestation, measured boot
- OS/UEFI: Works with UEFI systems supporting discrete TPM; enable in BIOS/UEFI setup
- Use Cases: BitLocker/Device Encryption, secure boot workflows, enterprise attestation
Interchangeable / Replacement Part Numbers
- MS-4136
- TPM2 (commonly printed on packaging/part listings for this module)
✅ Confirmed Compatibility
Please note that the following list is not exhaustive. Compatibility depends on your system’s specific configuration. It’s essential to verify compatibility with your system or enclosure manufacturer prior to installation.
✔️ Motherboards that include a 14-1 pin LPC header labeled “TPM”
✔️ Systems whose manuals list support for MS-4136 / TPM2 discrete TPM modules
✔️ Platforms that require a discrete TPM 2.0 device rather than firmware TPM
☑️ Key Features
- ☑️ Hardware-based security for keys and credentials
- ☑️ Drop-in installation to standard LPC TPM headers
- ☑️ UEFI-ready for modern secure-boot and attestation workflows
- ☑️ Compact, low-power module ideal for desktops and workstations
⚙️ Fit Notes
- This card fits 14-1 pin LPC TPM headers. It is not compatible with SPI_TPM headers or 20-pin server-style TPM headers.
- Observe Pin-1 orientation when seating the module.
- In BIOS/UEFI, enable Discrete TPM (and disable PTT/fTPM if your board requires choosing one path).
- If moving the module to another system, clear/initialize TPM in firmware before enabling BitLocker or similar features.
