specifying the Windows or Mac drive letters/volume names. Partition level

encryption is not applicable to client systems using OPAL encryption.

Do not assign a drive letter to the Windows 7 hidden system partition on your client

system. Doing so, will stop the EEPC software from being activated on the client

system.

The Encryption type options such as None, All disks except boot disk, and Selected partitions are not

applicable to self‑encrypting drives in Opal mode

Make sure that you select the required encryption type, as appropriate. Policy

enforcement might fail on client systems if you select an unsupported encryption type.

This table also lists the encryption providers (PC Software and PC Opal or Mac OS X)

available with the software. You can change and set the encryption priority by moving

the encryption provider rows up and down, as appropriate. By default, software

encryption will be used on both Opal and non‑Opal systems in this version of EEPC. To

ensure that Opal technology is chosen in preference to software encryption, we

recommend that you always set Opal as the default encryption provider, by moving it to

the top of the list on the Encryption Providers page. This ensures that Opal locking will

be used on Opal drives.

When enforcing a policy to a group of Mac OS X or PC systems, we recommend that you

select Mac OS X Software or PC Software first in the priority list.
