Dell Protected Area Type 2 (Type 214)

Source: Dell libsmbios, src/include/smbios_c/obj/token.h for the layout, and src/libsmbios_c/token/token_impl.h for the type, which is 0xD6.

Describes a protected value, such as a password, which is stored in CMOS and accessed through the indexed I/O ports, and its checksum.

In addition to the checksum of the value, the checksum of a CMOS range is described.
