Before installing, please check your motherboard manual to confirm support for TPM 2.0 technology. You can verify this information on the motherboard manufacturers official website. Some motherboards may require the TPM module to be physically installed or a BIOS update to enable the TPM option. Disable other computer security features before installation. Important requirements before ordering: - Ensure your motherboard supports a TPM 2.0 module. - Provide your motherboard model (typically printed near the graphics card slot) and check the socket type. There is no universal interface specification, and pin configurations may vary. - Confirm compatibility between the motherboard and this TPM module. Step 1: Identify your motherboard chipset (Intel or AMD). - 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 (e.g., MSI 970A-G43) are not supported. Step 2: Confirm the pin configuration on your motherboard (e.g., 12-pin, 14-pin, 20-pin). Example: ASUS B450-M motherboard - Chipset: AMD - Memory type: DDR4 (compatible) - Required pin configuration: 20-pin Specifications: 20-pin interface Package includes: 1 x TPM module
