Chapter 4. Intel AMT setup and configuration on Lenovo ThinkCentre M92/p and M92z desktop computers The Intel Management Engine (ME) is an isolated and protected computing resource that runs on an Intel AMT computer. The Intel Management Engine BIOS Extension (MEBx) provides a user interface to change or configure settings that control the operation of the Intel Management Engine (ME). All changes to the ME platform configuration settings are not cached in the MEBx, but committed to the ME nonvolatile memory until you exit the MEBx. If the Intel MEBx crashes in the process of the configuration, the changes that you have made will not be saved. Note: To perform the CIRA function, configure your computer in the MEBx for manual setup and configuration mode or automatic setup and configuration mode, and then use the CIRA function through ISV applications. You do not need to do any additional setup and configuration in the MEBx.
