Trusted platform 2.0 module

[VipevAbraid]

Hello.

I have three Proliant DL380 gen 9 machines. Two of them have a TP 1.2 module installed, the third does not have a TPM installed at all, as far as I can tell (per looking at iLO).

It sounds like if you have a 1.2 module installed, you're done, and it's not replaceable (as in, to upgrade to 2.0). Is that correct?

For the one which does not seem to have a TP module install, is it just a matter of buying a 2.0 module and plugging it in? If I wanted 2.0 on all three of the servers, would it take buying new motherboards with no TPMs for the two which are already at 1.2?

Hi @VipevAbraid  ,

 For the server with TPM installed:

• TPM 1.2 module installed on an HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server cannot be upgraded to TPM 2.0. The hardware TPM module is a physical component, and the firmware version (1.2 or 2.0) is tied to the specific module. 
• On most Gen9 servers, TPM modules are not hot-swappable or user-replaceable.
• Hence, To upgrade to TPM 2.0, you would need to replace the entire system board , not just the TPM module. 

For the server without any TPM installed:

• Yes, you can purchase an HPE TPM 2.0 module and install it on the server that currently does not have a TPM installed provided your system meets the firmware and UEFI requirements.
• Compatibility: Ensure you purchase the correct TPM module that is compatible with the ProLiant DL380 Gen9. The part number for the TPM 2.0 module is 719054-B21.

For more information, please find the official compatibility guide for the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server, including TPM module details.
