The R410 will support enabling VT-x, access the BIOS (F2), then select Processor Settings, then set Virtualization Technology to enabled. Keep in mind this is a generic enable of whichever Virtualization Technology exists in the current processor. Now with regards to the VT-d, you would first need to ensure that the BIOS and chipset are up to date. This is due to the supported technology (SR-IOV) wasn't present in older R410 BIOS versions (pre 1.5.1). Once updated then access the BIOS, then under Integrated Devices you will find SR-IOV Global Enable, set that to Enabled. After this the system will support both VT-x and VT-d.
On a side note, I would also update the iDrac along side of the BIOS. This will minimize downtime and instability. Just a suggestion.
