The power package selected determines when the ME is turned ON. The default power package turns off the ME in all Sx (S3/S4/S5) states. The end user administrator can choose which power package is used depending on computer usage. The power package selection page can be seen above.

If the power package selected does NOT indicate OFF After Power Loss Intel ME powers the computer on (S0) briefly, then turn the computer off (S5). Configuring Your Computer to Support Intel AMT Management Features After you completely configure the Intel® Management Engine (ME) feature, you must reboot before configuring the Intel AMT for a clean system boot. The image below shows the Intel AMT configuration menu after a user selects the Intel AMT Configuration option from the Management Engine BIOS Extension (MEBx) main menu. This feature allows you to configure an Intel AMT capable computer to support the Intel AMT management features. You need to have a basic understanding of networking and computer technology terms, such as TCP/IP, DHCP, VLAN, IDE, DNS, subnet mask, default gateway, and domain name. Explaining these terms is beyond the scope of this document.
