How do I enable a self-encrypting drive (SED) on Windows 7?

3

I recently purchased a HP laptop with Windows 7 Pro and a MTFDDAK256MAM-1K12 (https://www.micron.com/parts/solid-state-storage/ssd/mtfddak256mam-1k12) self-encrypting SSD drive (SED).

However, I cannot find an option to enable the self-encrypting feature. I've tried checking in the pre-boot options without luck (hitting Esc at boot). And I have tried looking in the HP software but this seems to be offering software encryption options only.

Any advice on how I can enable the hardware encryption (SED) feature?
