SiI5733 Automatic
Drive Locking
Drives are locked to the storage
processor using the ATA maxi-
mum
security
mode.
This
access control approach pre-
vents all attached drives from
being read until they are
unlocked. A 128-bit secret key,
which is not accessible to the
host, is burned into the
SiI5723. This unique password
will lock and unlock all drives
automatically, including cas-
caded drives. This feature
can be used as part of an
overall DRM scheme to lock
a drive or set of cascaded
drives to a single specific
host PC, STB, or DVR.
