Everything according to the CE is correct. I have used our web interface to the specialist to set the IP and the Drives as encryption.
The CE has updated the Microcode, controller and set the drives from emulation to E05. Just a matter of trying to see what it takes to get these drives noticed. The only thing we see is that we have A00-A0F defined in the IO gen/HCD. But there is no A0F drive. And the controller does not know about the A0F. It is the only one when listed that does not indicate E05.
