The security chip is a TPM, and they have been fairly common for several years. It just allows secure key storage for software that might need it. A TPM won't get in your way.
The other issue is UEFI Secure Boot. There's lots of opinions on the matter, plus it's quite complicated, so I'll leave that to you to research. That being said, I received a T440S this week, which is running the same UEFI. Fedora 20 takes care of all the secure boot and UEFI setup without any issue. I am using f20 with secure boot and didn't need to configure a thing.

Hi All;
I just ordered a Lenovo Thinkpad W540,
the specs list this:
Security Chip 2 Security Chip Enabled
I plan to run Fedora 20 on it. Is this something I should be concerned about? Can it be disabled in the bios?
Thanks in advance...
