GA-X58A-UD3R 2.0: how to enable VT-d

[Kamerat]

Hello.

I would really like to use th VT-d feature of the X58 chipset on my GA-X58A-UD3R 2.0, but I haven't found anyway to enable it on this board. Some said in a different forum that pressing Ctrl+F1 in the BIOS main menu would unhide a menu called "Advanced Chipset Feature", but pressing Ctrl+F1 om my board the screen just flashes and nothing new shows. I have tried different BIOSes (FG1, FH1 and FH3) but with same result. I don't know why Gigabyte would hide this feature in the first place, while overvolting and overclocking settings are unhid (that's the stuff that damages the computer, not VT-d). My last option is to exchange this board with the Asrock X58 Extreme in my main rig that's working with VT-d.

My setup:
GA-X58A-UD3R 2.0
Xeon E5606
24GB (6x4GB) of 1333MHz ECC memory
GeForce 6200TC

Anyone have a clue how to enable VT-d on this board?
Thanks in advance

Nevermind, GTS sent me a BIOS with VT-d support.

I downloaded the bios and installed it.
I still don't see VT-d support switch in the bios and vmware does not see it yet.

Just wondering if I am doing something wrong?

Really appreciate the help

Press Ctrl+F1 in the BIOS main menu and a new menu option will appear.

Hi

Could you confirm that after enabling VT-d on these motherboard vSphere5 run properly?

Best regards
