HP ROM-Based Setup Utility - Manual (Page 27)

No-Execute Page Protection
NOTE: This option is available on servers with AMD processors.
No-Execute Page Protection enables the hardware portion of a feature that protects systems against
malicious code and viruses. When used in combination with an OS that supports this feature,
certain memory locations are marked as not for executable code. Viruses that attempt to insert and
execute code from non-executable memory locations are intercepted and an exception is raised.
Options include:
•
Enabled (default)
•
Disabled
NOTE: When using hypervisors such as VMware ESX/ESXi and Windows Hyper-V, be sure to
enable this option.
