[SOLVED] Is TPM 2.0 functionality present in Asus WS C422 PRO/SE + Intel Xeon W-2235 CPU @ 3.80GHz ?

[PeterMuellerr]

Given a motherboard Asus WS C422 PRO/SE with an Intel Xeon W-2235 CPU @ 3.80GHz processor, is there a TPM 2.0 chip hidden somewhere there? So far, I found TPM neither in the UEFI settings nor using Windows 10 utilities. The 14-1-pin TPM1 header is not connected (and has never been connected since I bought the computer) to anything.

Are you using Win 10 Pro or Enterprise?

Under TPM Administration, does any version of TPM get listed?

The CPU and motherboard should support.

See page 3-14 of the manual (PCH-FW Configuration)

It's Windows 10 Pro.
I have not found "TPM Administration" in Windows. I've found TPM Management by starting tpm.msc, and it says that no compatible TPM has been found:

Yes, the processor is on the list of Microsoft.
The menu item "PCH-FW configuration" mentioned on page 3-14 in the manual is absent in my UEFI Settings:

Make sure your BIOS is the most recent version available for your motherboard. Then, check the manual page (3-14) linked earlier.

I did a proper BIOS update recently.
$ sudo dmidecode -t bios | grep Version
Version: 3406
The version number coincides with the latest available from https://www.asus.com/de/Motherboard...ards/Workstation/WS-C422-PRO-SE/HelpDesk_BIOS .
