Hello,

Traditionally, TPMs have not been something you can add after order. However, that 's changed now and there is a TPM installation kit available from Sales. The SKU I see for that is 461-AAEN.

The sales listing I'm looking at shows it as compatible. I'd share the page, but it's internal. Looking at the tech support side, I see part number 1MW70, which is non-orderable. However, that part is included in the kit J0KPW, which would be the SKU I linked to. 

Everything I am looking at indicates that it should be compatible.

Hello Dell-DylanJ,

Thank you for your reply. For this SKU number (461-AAEN), the list of compatible platforms does not include R640:

---

This product is compatible with the following systems:

• PowerEdge C4140
• PowerEdge R6415
• PowerEdge R7415
• PowerEdge R7425

---

Is this OK? Will the 461-AAEN be compatible with PowerEdge R640? 

Thank you for the quick confirmation! I've created the Purchase Request for one kit to check compatibility with our software. Look forward to checking it out.

I'd love to hear how it all goes. This is the first generation that I'm aware of where adding a TPM after the fact was an option. I'm curious on how smoothly things go along.

I know it is an old thread, but we have two R640's with the same issue, and would be curious how it went also.

I'd have to get the DPN to check, not the SKU. Sales uses SKUs, support uses DPNs. If you can locate the Dell Part Number, I can certainly check. If not though, I'd have to refer you to Sales for assistance with the SKU.

Hello Dylan

Will this TPM kit also work with a dell OEMR XL R630?  My SKU also list "461-AADZ : No Trusted Platform Module: and I would like to add a TPM.
