Enabling the Trusted Platform Module
When enabling the Trusted Platform module, observe the following guidelines:

installing it.
• In UEFI Boot Mode, the Trusted Platform Module can be configured to operate as TPM 2.0 or TPM 1.2.
• In Legacy Boot Mode, the Trusted Platform Module configuration can be changed between TPM 1.2 and
TPM 2.0, but only TPM 1.2 operation is supported.
