HP DL380 G5 with ESXI 5.1 - processor options

So I took my 5th generation HP DL380 to my new job and because of the static IPs I had assigned to the ILO interface and ESXI, I couldn't get anything done anymore. So I removed the battery from the main board which did a nice reset of the ilo inerface but also reset the BIOS processor options. Thanks to the VMWare forum I found the options I had to configure to run ESXI on the box:

If you forget the no-execute memory protection, you'll get purple error message. Below is how to solve these BIOS issues.
