Intel Desktop Board DQ57TML Technical Product Specification 1.15.2.2 Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) is a processor technology that enables a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications as independent machines, allowing one computer system to function as multiple "virtual" systems. It also provides the "assisted hardware virtualization" required by some operating systems for backward compatibility, such as Windows XP Mode for Windows 7. NOTE Requires an Intel processor that supports Intel VT. 1.15.2.3 Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel® VT-d) Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d) compliments Intel VT by providing the ability to isolate and restrict device accesses to the resources owned by the virtual partition managing the device. NOTE Requires an Intel processor that supports Intel VT. 1.15.2.4 Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT) helps protect the platform against software-based attacks and preserves the confidentiality and integrity of the data created and stored on the system. It accomplishes this by using a measured launch and leveraging Intel VT to produce a protected environment for the execution of sensitive applications. NOTE Requires an Intel processor that supports Intel TXT. 1.15.2.5 Intel® Remote PC Assist (Intel® RPAT) and Intel® Fast Call for Help Intel Remote PC Assist (Intel RPAT) provides a means for on-demand, reactive maintenance for small and medium businesses. Out of band, it is activated by pressing function key during the system's Power On Self Test (POST). Optionally, an integrator may chose to supply an external button connected to the RPAT header that will serve the same function. To utilize Intel RPAT technology from the desktop requires the installation of the Intel RPAT Client Agent, available for download from Intel's World Wide Web site. Intel Fast Call for Help supplies remote maintenance connectivity for the Enterprise user inside or outside the corporate firewall. Coupled with your enterprise's Management Presence Server, it provides both reactive and proactive maintenance. 32

Remote PC Assist (Intel
®
RPAT) and Intel
®
Fast Call
for Help
Intel Remote PC Assist (Intel RPAT) provides a means for on-demand, reactive
maintenance for small and medium businesses.
Out of band, it is activated by
pressing function key <F9> during the system’s Power On Self Test (POST).
Optionally, an integrator may chose to supply an external button connected to the
RPAT header that will serve the same function.
To utilize Intel RPAT technology from
the desktop requires the installation of the Intel RPAT Client Agent, available for
download from Intel’s World Wide Web site.
Intel Fast Call for Help supplies remote maintenance connectivity for the Enterprise
user inside or outside the corporate firewall.
Coupled with your enterprise’s
Management Presence Server, it provides both reactive and proactive maintenance.
