the recovery file is automatically sent to the e-mail address you specified.
Keep a copy of the recovery file in a safe location in case it is needed later. The recovery file is a password-
protected ZIP format file. To unzip the file, you must enter the password specified in step 2 above. The
recovery file contains the passphrase used to enable Data-at-Rest Encryption as well as the security keys.
Uploading a PFK File
To enable Data-at-Rest Encryption, a Premium Feature Key (PFK) file is required for each Array module in
the DXi6900. After you have uploaded a PFK file to an Array module, it can be enabled for Data-at-Rest
Encryption.
Typically you will upload a PFK for each Array module prior to enabling Data-at-Rest Encryption. A PFK file
must also be uploaded when adding an Array module to a DXi6900 that has Data-at-Rest Encryption
enabled, or else the module will not be encrypted.
Note:
The
Upload Premium Feature Key (PFK) File
section displays only if a PFK file is required.
For instructions on how to obtain the required PFK file for each Array module, see
Rest Encryption and Obtaining Premium Feature Keys on page 370
Before uploading a PFK file, make sure you are using a supported Web browser (see
To upload a PFK file to an Array module:

If you are uploading more than one PFK file, check the file names carefully, and make
sure to upload the correct file to each Array module.
3. Click
