## Solution

This is not a Check Point issue.   
The FDE blade initializes successfully and takes ownership of the SED without any errors.   
It creates public ranges that are accessible without a PIN.  
A specific Dell UEFI implementation requires the PIN.  

As a workaround, disable the SED and encrypted the disk with Check Point's BitLocker encryption.
