MAIN BOARD WITH INTEGRATED TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE FOR A COMPUTER DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A MAIN BOARD WITH INTEGRATED TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE

摘要

The present invention relates to a main board (4) for a computer device comprising a plurality of main board components (5) arranged on a first surface (11) of the main board (4), wherein further Trusted Platform Module, TPM, components (2, 3) are arranged on the first surface of the main board (4), wherein the TPM components (2, 3) are located in a predetermined area (10) of the main board (4), the predetermined area (10) being detachable from the main board (4) by means of a predetermined break line. Furher, the present invention relates to a method for producing a main board (4) with an integrated TPM (1), wherein the method comprises the following steps: producing a Printed Circuit Board, PCB; arranging a plurality of main board components (5) in a first area 13 of the PCB; arranging TPM components (3, 4) in a second area (14) of the PCB, the second area being a detachable predetermined area (10) of the main board (4); creating a predetermined breakline which at least partly surronds the predetermined area (10) by drilling a plurality of holes (7) forming a perforated line (9) which at least partially surrounds the predetermined area (10).
