TPM Module Supermicro TCG 2.0 AOM-TPM-9665H-C

The Supermicro TCG 2.0 AOM-TPM-9665H-C is a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) designed to provide hardware-based security for servers and computing systems. Compliant with TCG 2.0, this module stores cryptographic keys, passwords and digital certificates, supports secure boot and encryption key management, and helps protect systems against software attacks and physical tampering.

Advantages

The AOM-TPM-9665H-C implements a Root-of-Trust that measures system state during boot to establish a trust baseline and enable trusted reporting. It includes a hardware SHA-1 and SHA-256 accelerator, a true random number generator (TRNG), EEPROM for firmware updates and key storage, and protections such as dictionary-attack mitigation and tamper-detected tick counter. The module supports Intel® TXT and full personalization with an Endorsement Key (EK) and EK certificate, and offers a power-saving sleep mode.

Suitable for

• Enterprise servers requiring hardware-based key storage and secure boot
• Systems needing secure remote access and trusted reporting
• Environments performing electronic transactions and encrypted communications

How to use

Install the AOM-TPM-9665H-C into the compatible Supermicro motherboard TPM header or AOM slot according to the server manual and enable the TPM in the system BIOS/UEFI. Use vendor-provided tools or the operating system’s TPM management utilities to initialize, personalize (provision EK and certificates) and manage keys and policies. Apply firmware updates via the EEPROM when provided by the vendor to maintain compatibility and security.

Recommendations

Ensure BIOS/UEFI and operating system support for TCG 2.0 and follow platform vendor guidance for TPM provisioning. Backup and securely manage any recovery keys and certificates, and apply firmware updates from Supermicro to keep cryptographic functions current and protected.
