| Path in the Chipset. This may allow viewing of some protected high definition content that would |
| otherwise be prohibited from playback. Selecting Max will assign 96 Megabytes of system |
| memory exclusively to PAVP. |
| Virtualization Technology (VTx) (some models) (enable/disable) - Controls the virtualization |
| features of the processor. Changing this setting requires turning the computer off and then back |
| on. Default is disabled. |
| Virtualization Technology Directed I/O (VTd) (some models) (enable/disable) - Controls |
| virtualization DMA remapping features of the chipset. Changing this setting requires turning the |
| computer off and then back on. Default is disabled. |
| Intel TXT (LT) Support (some models) (enable/disable) - Controls the underlying processor and |
| chipset features needed to support a virtual appliance. Changing this setting requires turning the |
| computer off and then back on. Default is disabled. To enable this feature you must enable the |
| following features: |
| ● Embedded Security Device Support |
| ● Virtualization Technology |
| ● Virtualization Technology Directed I/O |
| Embedded Security Device (some models) (enable/disable) - Permits activation and deactivation |
| of the Embedded Security Device. Changing this setting requires turning the computer off and |
| then back on. |
| NOTE: To configure the Embedded Security Device, a Setup password must be set. |
| ● Reset to Factory Settings (some models) (Do not reset/Reset) - Resetting to factory defaults |
| will erase all security keys. Changing this setting requires turning the computer off and then |
| back on. Default is Do not reset. |
| CAUTION: The embedded security device is a critical component of many security |
| schemes. Erasing the security keys will prevent access to data protected by the Embedded |
| Security Device. Choosing Reset to Factory Settings may result in significant data loss. |
| OS management of Embedded Security Device (some models) (enable/disable) - This option |
| allows the user to limit operating system control of the Embedded Security Device. Changing this |
| setting requires turning the computer off and then back on. This option allows the user to limit OS |
| control of the Embedded Security Device. Default is enable. |
| ● Reset of Embedded Security Device through OS (some models) (enable/disable) - This |
| option allows the user to limit the operating system ability to request a Reset to Factory |
| Settings of the Embedded Security Device. Changing this setting requires turning the |
| computer off and then back on. Default is disable. |
