What to do next
After you complete the installation of the NVIDIA M6 GPU, see NVIDIA Licensing Information for information
on how to download NVIDIA software and acquire the necessary NVIDIA license. Follow the instructions
to complete these steps in order:
1. Register your product activation keys with NVIDIA.
2. Download the GRID software suite.
3. Install the GRID License Server software to a host.
4. Generate licenses on the NVIDIA Licensing Portal and download them.
5. Manage your GRID licenses.
6. Decide whether to use the GPU in compute mode or graphics mode.
Enabling the Trusted Platform Module
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a component that can securely store artifacts used to authenticate the
server. These artifacts can include passwords, certificates, or encryption keys. A TPM can also be used to
store platform measurements that help ensure that the platform remains trustworthy. Authentication (ensuring
that the platform can prove that it is what it claims to be) and attestation (a process helping to prove that a
platform is trustworthy and has not been breached) are necessary steps to ensure safer computing in all
environments. It is a requirement for the Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) security feature, which
must be enabled in the BIOS settings for a server equipped with a TPM.
