This connector supports Trusted
Platform Module (TPM) system,
which can securely store keys,
digital certificates, passwords,
and data. A TPM system also
helps enhance network security,
protects digital identities, and
ensures platform integrity.
Please connect a Thunderbolt™
add-in card (AIC) to this
connector via the GPIO cable.
*The Thunderbolt™ AIC card can
be installed in the enabled PCIe
slot (depending on CPU type).
If you install CPU with 44 lanes,
install the card to PCIE2.
If you install CPU with 28 lanes,
install the card to PCIE3.
If you install CPU with 16 lanes,
install the card to PCIE3.
These two RGB headers are used
to connect RGB LED extension
cable which allows
users to choose from various LED
lighting effects.
Caution: Never install the RGB
LED cable in the wrong orienta-
tion; otherwise, the cable may
be damaged.
*Please refer to page 36 for
