3. Initializing the TPM Chip

After configuring the system BIOS and installing the driver software, a small Infineon Security Platform icon (This icon indicates that the Infineon Security Platform is not yet initialized.) will appear in your system tray. Double-click the icon to enter "Easy Mode" (refer to the instructions in Section 3.1) or select "Advanced Mode" (refer to the instructions in Chapter 3.2) and then begin to initialize and configure the Infineon Security Platform.

3.1. Easy Mode

Double-click the Infineon Security Platform icon in the system tray to launch the GIGABYTE Initialization Wizard, which is the "Easy Mode" of the Security Platform. "Easy Mode" is an easy-to-use user interface of the Security Platform that allows users to quickly initialize the TPM chip and set up a Personal Secure Drive (PSD).

• "Easy Mode" simplifies the configuration procedure of the Infineon Security Platform initialization and its functions. To make further settings, please select "Advanced Mode."

• "Easy Mode" provides the "File and folder encryption with Personal Secure Drive (PSD)" settings only. To use the "File and folder encryption with Encryption File System (EFS)" or "Secure e-mail" functions, please select "Advanced Mode."

Step 1: Set up a Password

Launch the GIGABYTE Initialization Wizard. This wizard will request you to set up a password. After entering the password, click OK to begin the initialization of the Infineon Security Platform.

This password incorporates the functionalities of the "Owner Password", "User Password", "Emergency Recovery Token Password" and "Password Reset Token Password" of the Infineon Security Platform. Be sure to memorize this password to administrate and use the Security Platform in the future. For details on the rules of the Infineon Security Platform passwords and their usage, please refer to the Infineon Security Platform accompanying documentation.

Step 2: Infineon Security Platform Initialization

Begin the initialization of the Infineon Security Platform. The "TPM initialization successful!" message appears upon completion of the initialization. Click Next to proceed with setting up a Personal Secure Drive (PSD).

Do not log off, shutdown, enter a power-saving state, or unplug the power cord before the wizard has completed.

Step 3: Set up a Personal Secure Drive (PSD)

3-1. Specify a drive letter and label for your Personal Secure Drive

To specify the drive letter for your Personal Secure Drive, select an unused letter from the My PSD will be mapped to drive:

drop-down list of available letters. To specify the drive label, enter the label in the Drive label for my PSD: box. The label

should be no more than 32 characters in length.

3-2. Specify your Personal Secure Drive size and a local drive on which your Personal Secure Drive will be saved

Select a local drive from the My PSD will be saved on drive: drop-down list for saving your Personal Secure Drive and

enter the Personal Secure Drive size in the Storage space of my PSD: box.

Your Personal Secure Drive size cannot be changed after setup, so please ensure that the size you specify is large enough to meet your needs. Please note that you cannot use the full drive size, since the file system allocates some space. This depends on the operating system and may be significant for small drive sizes. Please also note that the maximum PSD drive size is limited: The maximum PSD drive size on FAT16 volumes is 2 GB. The maximum PSD drive size on FAT32 volumes is 4 GB.

Step 4: Complete the Settings

Click Exit to complete the initialization of the TPM chip and setup of the Personal Secure Drive (PSD). You can then access the GIGABYTE Ultra TPM utility to set up a Portable User Key.
