-  ​- First, enter the BIOS configuration for the server.  ​+Normally, VT-x and VT-d should be enabled on the typical POD server. Since the POD's are a shared resource it is possible that the settings may be reset or modified by users working in a POD. Here's how one can go about enabling the virtualization extensions again.  
 + 
 +  * First, enter the [[get_started:​how_to_modify_pod_server_bios_settings|BIOS configuration]] for the server. 
 +  * Select Setup Menu and press Enter:

 +  * Select "​Advanced"​ and press Enter: 
 +    {{ :​pharos:​intel_s2600wt_bios-advanced-menu.png |}} 
 +  * Select “Processor Configuration” and press Enter: 
 +    {{ :​pharos:​intel_s2600wt_bios-processor-config.png |}} 
 +  * Select “Intel® Virtualization Technology” and press Enter, then select “Enabled” from the popup menu and press Enter again:

 +  * You must power off server before the virtualization extensions will be available. To do this using the RMM, [[get_started:​how_to_modify_pod_server_bios_settings | log into the RMM ]] and select “Server Power Control” from the “Remote Control” tab and select “Power OFF Server” and click the “Perform Action” button:
