Key benefits Strong hardware security: Builtin standalone crypto processor stores and protects encryption keys on the TPM 2.0 module, adding a hardware layer of defense against key theft and tampering. Simple, reliable replacement: Swap in this TPM module to restore security features when an original module is damaged, nonfunctional, or underperforming. Efficient data protection: Performs hardwarebased encryption and key management to help prevent unauthorized access to your PC's stored data. Broad compatibility with modern systems: Designed for use with motherboards that support TPM 2.0; exhibits improved compatibility with systems using DDR4 memory and memory types later than DDR3. Supported specifications may vary by motherboard. What it does (function) Provides a hardware root of trust and secure key storage via an independent crypto processor. Enables platform integrity checks and supports OSlevel features that rely on TPM 2.0 (for example, secure boot and BitLockertype encryption). Handles cryptographic operations in hardware to reduce exposure of keys to the main CPU and operating system. Key attributes Function: TPM 2.0 hardware security module for secure key storage and cryptographic operations. Compatibility: Fits motherboards that accept TPM 2.0 modules; improved compatibility with DDR4 and memory types above DDR3. Verify motherboard support before installing. Size and form factor: Compact module designed to existing onboard TPM modules (verify connector and mounting form with your motherboard). Build and materials: Assembled with standard electronic components to meet typical motherboard TPM module requirements. Performance: Hardwarelevel cryptographic processing for efficient key protection and reduced software attack surface. Practical use scenarios /upgrade: a faulty or missing onboard TPM to restore BitLocker drive encryption and other OS security functions on a desktop or workstation. Enterprise deployment: Equip refurbished or deployed machines with a hardware TPM to meet corporate security policies that require TPMbased attestation and secure key storage. Secure development and testing: Use the module to validate TPMdependent workflows, firmware updates, or secure boot configurations in a lab environment. Important notes Verify physical connector, pinout, and BIOS/motherboard support before and installation. Supported memory and system specifications can differ by motherboard; check your motherboard documentation for TPM 2.0 compatibility and supported memory types.
