Sets the reporting of the TPM in the system.
NOTE:
The TPM is a microchip that is integrated into the system
board, and it can be used by both operating systems and programs.
It is capable of creating, storing, and protecting cryptographic
keys. See support.dell.com for additional TPM documentation.
When set to Off (default), presence of the TPM is not reported
to the operating system.
When set to On with Pre-boot Measurements, the system
reports the TPM to the operating system and stores the pre-boot
measurements (compliant with Trusted Computing Group
standards) to the TPM during POST.
When set to On without Pre-boot Measurements, the system
reports the TPM to the operating system and bypasses pre-boot
measurements.
