Dell Data Protection Encryption detecting internal disks as removable

Affected Products:

• Dell Data Protection | Enterprise Edition
• Dell Data Protection | Personal Edition

Affected Versions:

• v8.x

Not Applicable

This issue is linked to the BIOS version, and the way disks are made visible to the operating system. On certain platforms, such as the E7440 this has already been addressed using a BIOS update (A14). On other platforms where no BIOS fix is available (for example, R7910) an upgrade of the Intel controller driver is required to work around this issue. Upgrade the Intel C610 Series Chipset RSTe Driver on both the AHCI SATA controllers (sSATA, SATA)
