Before installing, verify that your motherboard supports TPM 2.0 technology by consulting the motherboard manual or the manufacturer's official website. Some motherboards may require installation of the TPM module or a BIOS update to enable the TPM setting. Disable other computer security features prior to installation. Key requirements before ordering: - Confirm your motherboard supports a TPM 2.0 module. - Provide your motherboard model (typically printed near the PCIe slot) and check the socket type. Interface specifications vary and are not standardized. - Check compatibility between your motherboard and this TPM module. Step 1: Identify your motherboard chipset: - For Intel chipsets, check the model number after the letters. Any number 99 or higher is compatible (e.g., ASUS X99). - For AMD chipsets, ensure the motherboard uses DDR4 memory. Models with DDR3 memory are not supported (e.g., MSI 970A-G43 is incompatible). Step 2: Confirm the pin configuration on your motherboard—such as 12-pin, 14-pin, or 20-pin. Example: ASUS B450-M - Manufacturer: AMD - Memory type: DDR4 (compatible) - Connector: 20-pin Specifications: - 20-pin interface Packing List: 1 x TPM Module
