1.2.1 Encryption Restrictions
This section describes encryption restrictions.
• If encryption has never been enabled and you do not plan to use it in the future, secure encrypted
drives (SED) can be mixed with unencrypted (non-SED) drives in the same node.
• If encryption was never enabled and remains disabled, encrypted nodes can be mixed with
unencrypted nodes in the same cluster.
• Encryption is not supported for NVMe drives.
• All nodes in the cluster must have SED capable drives to use hardware SED encryption.
If SED drives are mixed with non-SED drives, the encryption cannot be enabled for that cluster.
NOTE: An encryption key must be removed from the SED drives from Prism before you format (clear) the
SED drives.
1.3 Supported networking
This section provides information about networking supported by your hardware and supported NICs.
Intel branded Network Daughter Cards (NDC) and Network Interface Cards (NIC) specify the use of only Intel
branded SFP+ optical modules for use with optical cables. When ordering a system with optics, the
appropriate Intel branded SFP+ optical modules are included with your order. If you already have SFP+
optical modules, ensure they are the Intel branded modules before inserting into the NDC or NIC. Twinax
cables are also the supported network cables for Intel NDC and NIC.
CAUTION: Using any brand of SFP+ module other than Intel during deployment disables the 10 GbE ports.
