18. If you are using smart cards for authentication, specify a quorum size. The quorum size is the
minimum number of cards necessary to enable the card holders to perform the security
sensitive operations listed above. The maximum quorum size is five cards. The actual number
of authentication cards registered is always more than the quorum size, so if you set the
quorum size to five, for example, you will need to register at least six cards in the subsequent
steps.
19. Set System Cards to Required to require the use a system card to control activation of an
encryption engine. If System Cards is set to Not Required, the encryption engine activates
without the need to read a system card first.

If you set a quorum size for authentication cards, the Authentication Cards dialog box displays
