NOTE: Additional installation notes: • Controller modules within the same enclosure must be of the same type. • For optimal performance, do not mix 6 Gb and 3 Gb disk drives within the same enclosure. FDE considerations The Full Disk Encryption feature available via the management interfaces requires use of self-encrypting drives (SED) which are also referred to as FDE-capable disk drive modules. When installing FDE-capable disk drive modules, follow the same procedures for installing disks that do not support FDE. The exception occurs when you move FDE-capable disk drive modules for one or more disk groups to a different system, which requires additional steps. Lenovo Storage S3200/S2200 Setup Guide 21
