Abstract
A storage enclosure of an information handling system includes multiple storage drives, and an expander device. The storage drives include one or more self-encrypting drives (SEDs). The expander device determines whether a SED enables a power disable capability. In response to detection that the SED enables the power disable capability, the expander device monitors a link status between the information handling system and the storage enclosure. In response to a link status change being detected, the expander device waits a period of time and determines the link status after the period of time. If the link status is link down, the expander device implements a power cycle in the storage drives. After the power cycle of the storage drives, the expander device sets the drives to a locked state.
