Add TPM to Supermicro Motherboard?

[TXAG26]

AOM-TPM-9665V / AOM-TPM-9665V-S / AOM-TPM-9665V-C | Add-on-Module | Accessories | Products - Super Micro Computer, Inc.

I'm looking at Supermicro TPM's and was wondering which would be needed for an AMD Epyc 7002 series CPU running on a Supermicro H11SSL series motherboard running Windows 10/11 Pro as a workstation?

According to Supermicro, AOM-TPM-9665V is the correct part number, but there are 3 different variations (no letter, -S, and -C) and I'm not sure which would be needed. Is the TXT* support an Intel or Server only instruction set on the TPM? Since I'm running Windows 10/11 Pro as a workstation, I would assume that fits more in the "Client" role, thus the -C part number, but that part only seems to support Intel CPU's. Maybe the plain AOM-TPM-9665V is what I need? Anyone looked into this before?

Model #	Form Factor	TXT*	MB Platform	Supported CPUs
AOM-TPM-9665V	Vertical	N/A	Intel	Any MBs with TPM support
AOM-TPM-9665V-S	Vertical	Server	Intel, AMD	Intel® Xeon® E5/E7, AMD EPYC™ 7000 Series
AOM-TPM-9665V-C	Vertical	Client	Intel	Intel® Core i5/i7 & Xeon® E3 processors

I have a Xeon E5. From this table our options are only V or V-S.
Expanding your question, using V-S and activating TXT support makes sense in a workstation? Is TXT support useful or only adds complexity to manage it locally.

I don’t think I need TXT with an AMD platform, but I guess I’m unsure of that. Maybe the -V option is the best way to go for a non-server roll AMD Epyc workstation?

I Believe that the 9665V-S is supported for intels TXT. AMD platform does not have this. I think you would need the plain 9665V version.

I Believe that the 9665V-S is supported for intels TXT. AMD platform does not have this. I think you would need the plain 9665V version.

Thank you.

Has anyone got TPM working on Supermicro H11SSL? I have that mobo with 2nd gen Epyc. I bought AOM-TPM-9665V, but cannot enable TPM in esxi. I also noticed that a most of the settings described in the manual under Trusted Computing are missing. Wondering if AOM-TPM-9665V-S is required.

esxcli system settings encryption set --mode=TPM
