You can manage the security key using Local Key Management (LKM) or OpenManage Secure Enterprise Key Manager, also referred to as Secure Enterprise Key Manager (SEKM). The LKM key can be escrowed into a file using Dell OpenManage Storage Management application. The security key is used by the controller to lock and unlock access to encryption-capable hard drives.

NOTE:Starting with 17G PowerEdge servers, IDRAC supports only

servers.
- Have SEDs in your server.
- Have created a security key.

server, if the main system is shut down, drives will remained in an unlocked state
until the drives are power cycled.
NOTE:The iDRAC Auto Secure feature does not secure
drives that are associated with 12th Series and 13th Series controllers.
