23. Select Idle Timeout. Default Setting = 0x1, Recommended Setting = 0x1 This option sets the timeout value for Wake-On-ME. The default timeout value is 0x1 from the factory, but 0x0 if CMOS is cleared. A value of 0x0 means the Wake-On-ME feature is disabled and the ME will not go to sleep when not being used in a nonactive system. HP recommends a setting of 0x1, which allows the ME to go to sleep after 1 minute of inactivity. The timeout value can be set in both decimal and hexadecimal notation and is in units of minutes. It must be set to a non-zero value for the ME to take advantage of Wake-On-ME. Hexadecimal settings are preceded by a "0x", so one minute is "0x1". This value is not used when the system is in an active state - S0. This value is used only if the ME On in Host Sleep State setting is set to Always. See "Appendix C: Wake-On-ME Explained" on page 30 for an explanation of Wake-On-ME. 24. Select Return to previous menu. 25. Select Exit, and then select Y to exit the MEBx Setup and save settings. The system displays an Intel ME Configuration Complete message, and then the system reboots. After the system reboots, it changes from In-Setup phase to Operational phase, and AMT is fully operational. Once in Operational phase, you can remotely manage the system through the Intel AMT WebGui or ISV remote console and you can provide the system to the end-user for regular use. After an AMT system is configured, it displays its status and shows that the AMT tables are valid on every boot. Figure 6 Intel AMT Enabled and Configured - ME configuration complete 13

Idle Timeout

Default Setting = 0x1, Recommended Setting = 0x1

This option sets the timeout value for Wake-On-ME.

The default timeout value is 0x1 from the factory, but 0x0 if CMOS is cleared. A value of 0x0 means

the Wake-On-ME feature is disabled and the ME will not go to sleep when not being used in a non-

active system. HP recommends a setting of 0x1, which allows the ME to go to sleep after 1 minute of

inactivity.

The timeout value can be set in both decimal and hexadecimal notation and is in units of minutes. It

must be set to a non-zero value for the ME to take advantage of Wake-On-ME. Hexadecimal settings

are preceded by a “0x”, so one minute is “0x1”.

This value is not used when the system is in an active state - S0.

This value is used only if the ME On in Host Sleep State setting is set to Always. See

“Appendix C:

Wake-On-ME Explained” on page 30

for an explanation of Wake-On-ME.

The system displays an Intel ME Configuration Complete message, and then the system reboots.

After the system reboots, it changes from In-Setup phase to Operational phase, and AMT is fully

operational. Once in Operational phase, you can remotely manage the system through the Intel AMT

WebGui or ISV remote console and you can provide the system to the end-user for regular use.

After an AMT system is configured, it displays its status and shows that the AMT tables are valid on

every boot.
