Clear Text Backup (Optional)
This option is not recommended because it carries the risk of the data being exposed during backup
or restore procedures. It is recommended that system owners should follow the Hard Drive Image
Backup Procedures. The advantage of the clear text backup is that no TPM key is required to
restore the data. To perform a back up of data in clear text, decrypt the files by moving them from
secured programs or drive letters to an unencrypted directory. The unencrypted (clear text) files
may then be backed up to removable media and stored in a secure location.
Trusted Platform Module Ownership
The TPM is disabled by default and the owner/end customer of the system assumes “Ownership” of
the TPM by enabling and initializing it. This permits the owner of the system to control
initialization of the TPM. The owner of the system must also create all the passwords associated
with the TPM that is used to protect their keys, data, and privacy. See the detailed instructions in
Enabling the Trusted Platform Module.
System builders/Integrators may install both the Infineon Security Platform software and the Wave
System EMBASSY Trust Suite, but SHOULD NOT attempt to use or activate the TPM or either
software package.
NOTE
System Builders should pass the Trusted Platform Module Quick Reference (included with the
desktop board) to the system owner to assist them in enabling and initializing the TPM.
Enabling the Trusted Platform Module
The TPM is disabled by default to insure that the owner/end customer of the system initializes the
TPM and configures all security passwords. The owner/end customer should use the following
steps to enable the TPM.
1. While the system is displaying the splash screen (or POST screen), press the <F2> key to enter
the BIOS setup program.
2. Use the arrow keys to go to the Advanced Menu, select Peripheral Configuration, and then
press the <Enter> key.
3. Select the Trusted Platform Module, press <Enter>, and select Enabled and press <Enter> again
(display should show: Trusted Platform Module [Enabled]).
4. Press the <F10> key, select Ok and press <Enter>.
5. The system should reboot and start Microsoft Windows.
