I am trying to understand the TPM header on a motherboard I have, which is an Asrock "H170m Pro4" It has a TPMS1
header on the motherboard, and it has 9x2 pins with 1 missing.
In searching the web, I see a 14-1 pin TPM module, other references to 20 pins. what's the deal?
here is a link to the manufacturer's site for the specific mobo I am trying to get a TPM chip for. You can download the manual from here: https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H170M%20Pro4/
in H170M Pro4.pdf
on pages 6 & 7 it shows the TPMS1
header location and on page 22 it states 17 pin TPMS1 and what each pin does
- PCICLK bottom row left most
- FRAME bottom row going right
- PCIRST#
- LAD3
- +3v
- LAD0
- no pin
- +3VSB
- GND bottom row right most
- GND top row left most
- SMB_CLK_MAIN
- SMB_DATA_MAIN
- LAD2
- LAD1
- GND
- S_WRDWN# this is above the empty pin #7
- SERIRQ
- GND top row right most
what concerns and confuses me is the use of TPMS1
and here at their site https://www.asrock.com/mb/spec/card.asp?Model=TPM-S%20Modulereferring to these 3 things:
- TPM-S module (V 1.2)
- TPM-s module (V 2.0)
- TPM2-S module (V 2.0)
can anyone make sense of this?
