NOTE:
All drives within the MSA 240 array must be self-encrypted drives to enable the encryption feature.
There cannot be a mixture of encrypted and non-encrypted drives within the same array.
SEDs can be used in a non-SED environment, but will not be encrypted unless all drives in the array are
SED
Self-encrypted drives are only supported on the MSA 2040 Storage array and requires Firmware
version GL105. Customers must upgrade their MSA 2040 controller firmware to GL105 or later for Self-
Encrypting Drive functionality
All MSA SEDs are FIPS 140-2 compliant FIPS 140-2 Validated Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs) have been
certified by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Canadian
Communications Security Establishment (CSE) as meeting the Level 2 security requirements for
cryptographic modules as defined in the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2
