R310 and VT-d

Question

Hi Everyone,We have 2 DELL R310 servers which we want to use to install a new broadband management app- on a KVM hypervisor.One of the requirements is that the hardware should support VT-d. The Tech guide for the DELL R310 does state that the chipset supports VT-d, but I have looked everywhere in the BIOS and LCC, but I just cannot locate the option to enable VT-d. (I did enable VT-x)I also upgraded the various firmware to the latest, but I still cannot find this option. Does this mean, it's enabled automatically?Thank you for any assistance!--- Helmuth Kisting

Hello Yes, it is enabled by enabling Virtualization Technology in the Processor Settings of the system BIOS. There are no other options within the hardware to enable/disable VT-d. Thanks
