Table 3-6 Computer Setup-Advanced (for advanced users) (continued) Management Devices The Management Devices menu will only be displayed in the Advanced menu when the BIOS detects multiple management options. This option is for installed NIC cards that support ASF or DASH. Use the Management Devices menu to select if the BIOS management operations will be through the embedded solution or one of the installed NIC cards. Management Operations Allows you to set: ● MEBx Setup Prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature displays the CTRL+P prompt during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the prompt from being displayed. However, pressing Ctrl+P still accesses the utility used to configure manageability settings. The CTRL+P function activates the MEBx Setup menu. If the Setup Password is configured, the user will be prompted to correctly enter it before being allowed to enter the MEBx Setup. It the password is entered incorrectly three times, the MEBx Setup will not be activated. ● Intel Remote PC Assist Prompt (Hidden/Displayed). Displaying this feature displays the CTRL+ALT+F1 prompt during POST. Hiding this feature prevents the prompt from being displayed. However, pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 still accesses the utility used to attempt to connect to remote help server or services. ● Intel PC Assist Timeout (5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 120, 180, 240 seconds). Allows the user/administrator is set a time limit for Remote Help to establish contact with a remote server when initiated. ● SOL Terminal Emulation Mode. Selects between VT100 and ANSI SOL terminal emulation. SOL terminal emulation mode is only activated during remote AMT redirection operations. The emulation options allow administrators to select which mode works best with their console. ● SOL Local Keyboard (enable/disable). Disable or enable client keyboard during SOL sessions. Some remote remediation may involve having the local client boot a remote image provided by an administrator. This option determines if the BIOS will keep the local keyboard enabled or disabled for possible local client interaction. If the local keyboard is disabled, all keyboard input is only accepted from the remote source. ● Unprovision AMT on next boot. Allows reset of AMT settings. Recovering the Configuration Settings This method of recovery requires that you first perform the Save to Removable Media command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility before Restore is needed. (See Save to Removable Media on page 8 in the Computer Setup-File table.) NOTE: It is recommended that you save any modified computer configuration settings to a diskette, a USB flash media device, or a diskette-like device (a storage device set to emulate a diskette drive) and save the diskette or device for possible future use. To restore the configuration, insert the diskette, USB flash media device, or other storage media emulating a diskette with the saved configuration and perform the Restore from Removable Media command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility.
