Greeting, I have been trying to enable TPM in the BIOS, but I can’t seems to be able to find the right location in the BIOS to do it, can anyone help. Note: the BIOS version I have is P3.90 ---

### **Enabling the Built-in AMD fTPM** 1. Turn on or restart the server. 2. Press **F2** or **Del** during the boot process (POST) to enter the BIOS Setup Utility. 3. Navigate to the **Advanced** tab at the top of the screen. 4. Select **CPU Configuration** and press Enter. 5. Scroll down to find the **AMD fTPM switch**. 6. Change the setting from _Disabled_ to **Enabled**. 7. Press **F10** to Save and Exit. The system will reboot with the firmware TPM active. ### **Enabling a Physical Hardware TPM Module** _Note: Only follow these steps if you have explicitly purchased and installed a physical TPM 2.0 module onto the motherboard’s `TPM_BIOS_PH1` header._ 1. Turn on or restart the server. 2. Press **F2** or **Del** during boot to enter the BIOS Setup Utility. 3. Navigate to the **Advanced** tab. 4. Select **Trusted Computing** and press Enter. 5. Locate the **Security Device Support** option. 6. Change the setting to **Enable**. 7. Press **F10** to Save and Exit. After rebooting, you can verify the TPM status within your operating system (for example, by running `tpm.msc` in Windows or checking `/sys/class/tpm/` in Linux). ---

thanks for the info, but under Advanced-\>CPU Configuration I can’t see the AMD fTPM. The only thing that I see there is SVM Mode and Node 0 Information That is for the first method since I don’t have a physical TPM module the second method didn’t work as well. Now, would you know what model of TPM module should I get for that mother board? ---

I’ll let someone else reply since I don’t actually have the board. There are some other locations suggested where it might be in the BIOS, but I won’t send you on a wild goose chase if you think you’ve thoroughly checked. What is the end goal? - Enable Windows 11 compatibility? - Use BitLocker? - Pass TPM into a VM? - Enable measured boot / Secure Boot? ---

I’m running Unraid on the server and now that Unraid allows internal boot,I want to transfer the OS from the USB flash drive to a mirror NVME, which I did but in order to remove the USB flash drive out of the server I need to transfer the license key to a TPM ---

I have a ROMED8-2T, and I only see options for hardware TPM in the BIOS. Looks like SPI is the newer standard so that would probably be the route to go. ---

yes, I agree with you. I tend to believe that the only option that I have is to put a TPM module to be able to transfer the license key to it. ---

I tried following googles directions to get the fTPM enabled and nothing worked. I emailed both 45homelab & AsRock for support I never did hear back from 45HL, but AsRock sent the following; Thank you for reaching out to us for your support! Server grade motherboards use hardware TPM, fTPM is controlled by the CPU itself which is not supported by the BIOS. To get a physical TPM for this particular motherboard, please reference to its TPM QVL page: (link removed for being a new user), Thank you! Best Regards, AsRock I ordered a TPM on Amazon, installed it and set the bios to the TPM LPC option. There are no other magical or hidden menus in the bios to adjust. I booted into UnRaid and was able to move my license to the TPM. ---

I’m sorry to hear you didn’t get a reply from us. Roughly when did you reach out, and what was the subject header for the email? I’m going to look into this and make sure our system didn’t miss your email. ---

I got the following TPM module from amazon [TPM 2.0 Module, Secure 18 Pin LPC Security Expansion Upgrade Card for PC Upgrade Black 1 Pack Motherboard Support Trusted Encryption Verification : Amazon.ca: Electronics](https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CCVWLY3X?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) It’s the 18 pin module shutdown you server UNPLUG your servers, insert the TPM module, in my case I didn’t have to go the BIOS to enable it. Plug in your server and boot. In a command line type the following “ls /dev/tpm\*” if you see a tpm from that command then the TPM module was recognize by your OS
