This parameter, along with OemSafetyLock, provides a method to assign a safety key to the selected board. The key is implemented as a an 8-byte string of ASCII characters. Any character is allowed. A null character acts as the termination character of the safety key.

The key is stored in the non-volatile memory of the board and cannot be read back.

The validity of the key is returned by OemSafetyLock.

A "set" operation on the OemSafetyLock parameter fails if the key is longer than 8 characters. The returned error code is MC_INVALID_VALUE.
