Poweredge R540 Trusted Platform Module 1.2

Hi,

I maintain a Poweredge r540 server and my manager would like to use BitLocker.

I've checked and there's currently no TPM module installed.

The host operating system has been installed using 'BIOS' instead of UEFI and so we'd want to install a TPM 1.2 module as TPM 2.0 wouldn't be supported without tinkering with the host OS.

Is there a suitable part number? There is a similar thread:

Solved: TPM 2.0 for Dell PowerEdge R540 platform - Dell Community

But that is for a TPM 2.0 module.

From some searching the 1.2 module might be 'CMD3M' but I've been unable to find any UK reseller and so not sure if there's another part number that might be used?

Many thanks

Peter
