Selected NVDIMM-Ns are sanitized on the next reboot of the system. The largest group of NVDIMM-Ns
selected is sanitized. For example, if Sanitize/Erase all NVDIMM-N on Processor 1 is enabled and
Sanitize/Erase Processor 1 DIMM 8 is disabled, all NVDIMM-Ns on processor 1 are sanitized including
processor 1 DIMM 8.
The following policies control the action of the system after NVDIMM-Ns are sanitized/erased:
• Power off the system after sanitizing/erasing NVDIMMs
• Boot to the operating system after sanitizing NVDIMMs
• Boot to the System Utilities after sanitizing NVDIMMs
NVDIMM-N Interleaving
This option enables NVDIMM-Ns installed on a particular processor to be interleaved with other NVDIMM-
Ns in the memory map. This option does not impact the interleaving of HPE SmartMemory DIMMs.
Interleaving is never enabled across NVDIMM-Ns and HPE SmartMemory DIMMs. NVDIMM-Ns installed
on different processors are never interleaved together. If this setting is changed (to Enabled or
Disabled), then all installed NVDIMM-Ns must be sanitized. If all installed NVDIMM-Ns are not sanitized,
then an error condition is reported on the next boot and the NVDIMM-Ns are not available for use.
Virtualization options
Enabling or disabling Virtualization Technology
Use the Intel(R) Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) to control whether a Virtual Machine Manager
(VMM) supporting Virtualization Technology can use hardware capabilities provided by UEFI Intel
processors.
NOTE: You do not need to disable Virtualization Technology if you are using a VMM or an operating
system that does not support AMD-V virtualization.
Procedure
1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration
(RBSU) > Virtualization Options > Intel(R) Virtualization Technology (Intel VT).
2. Select a setting.
• Enabled
• Disabled
3. Save your setting.
Enabling or disabling Intel VT-d
Use the Intel (R) VT-d option to enable or disable Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d)
on a Virtual Machine Manager (VMM).
NOTE: If you are not using a hypervisor or an operating system that supports this feature, it is not
necessary to set the Intel (R) VT-d option to disabled. You can leave it enabled.
