When the Local FW Update option is set to DISABLED, local Intel ME firmware update is not allowed. When the Local FW Update option is set to Password Protected, Local FW update is protected by the MEBx password. Power Control The Power Control menu enables you to configure the ME power control policies. To conform with the ENERGY STAR program and the EuP Lot 6 requirements, the Intel ME can be turned off in various sleep states. Select Power Control and press Enter.

With Intel ME Wake on LAN (WOL), after the time-out
timer expires, the Intel ME remains in the M-off
1
state until
a command is sent to the Intel ME. After this command is
sent, the Intel ME will transition to the M0

ME can also make the Intel ME transition to the M0 or M3
state. The Intel ME takes a short time to transition from

the system will not respond to any Intel ME commands.
When the Intel ME is in the M0 or M3 state, the system
