SafeStore local key management provides the necessary management and protection of SEDs
using a simple pass phrase, security key identifier, and security key file that can be set and applied
to all SEDs assigned to a ServeRAID adapter. This removes the complexity of managing each SED's
unique encryption key, and essentially relieves the administrator from most of the daily tasks of
securing data.
Note: To use the SED services of the ServeRAID M5000 Series Advanced Feature Key, you must use self-
encrypting drives as listed in "Supported disk drives" below.
Figure 3 shows the ServeRAID M5000 Series Advanced Feature Key attached to the ServeRAID M5015
controller.
