True or False: The new TPM chip must be installed after replacing the system board.

Installing a new TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip after replacing the system board is necessary because the TPM is typically integrated into the motherboard itself. When you replace the system board, any associated chips, including the TPM, will no longer be functional or valid. This is particularly critical for systems that require TPM for security features such as encryption and secure boot processes. When a new system board is installed, it may not recognize the TPM chip from the previous board due to hardware associations and cryptographic keys stored within the chip, hence a new TPM installation ensures that the security parameters are correctly configured and compliant with the system’s requirements.

The implication of this is that proper system security and functionality can only be restored by ensuring that a compatible TPM chip is installed on the new system board. This ensures the protection of keys and cryptographic operations that are vital for maintaining system integrity and secure operations.
