Intel Virtualization Technology For Directed I/O - Dell R210 II Technical Manual

The chipset's SMBus also implements hardware-based Packet Error Checking for data robustness and
the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to dynamically provide address to all SMBus devices.

8.17 Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O

The chipset provides hardware support for implementation of Intel Virtualization Technology with
Directed I/O (Intel VT-d). Intel VT-d Technology consists of technology components that support the
virtualization of platforms based on Intel Architecture Processors. Intel VT-d Technology enables
multiple operating systems and applications to run in independent partitions. A partition behaves like
a virtual machine (VM) and provides isolation and protection across partitions. Each partition is
allocated its own subset of host physical memory.
