Servidor Desenvolvimento:Configuração BIOS:TPM Security

[ ] TPM Security
(o) Deactivate
( ) Activate
( ) Clear

This option lets you control whether the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) in the system is enable or visible to the operation system. When disabled, the BIOS will not turn on the TPM during POST. The TPM will be non-functional and invisible to the operating system. When enabled, the BIOS will turn on the TPM during POST so that it can be used by the operating system.

NOTE: Disabling this option does not change any settings you may have made to the TPM, nor does it delete or change any information or keys you may have stored there. It simply turns off the TPM so that it cannot be used. When you re-enable this option, the TPM will function exactly as it did before it was disable.

When the TPM is in the enabled state you have the ability to control whether the TPM is deactivated and disabled or acitivated and enabled. It also allows you to clear the ownership information in the TPM (if any). Physical presence is implied when you make a change to this option. When "Deactivate" the TPM will be deactivated and disabled. It will not execute any commands that use the resources of the TPM, nor wil it allow any access to stored owner information. When "Activate" the TPM will be enabled and activated. This is the normal operating state for the TPM when you want to use its complete array of capabilities. When "Clear" the BIOS clears the owner information stored in the TPM. Use this setting to restore the TPM to its default state if you lose of forget the owner authentication data.

NOTE: Activation, deactivation and clear options are not affected if you load the setup program's default values. Changes to this option take effect immediately. </syntaxhighlight>
