To configure Intel vPro systems for AMT or ASF: 1. Turn on or restart the computer. If you are in Microsoft Windows, click Start > Shut Down > Restart. 2. As soon as the computer is turned on, press the hot key, Ctrl+P, when the monitor light turns green. NOTE: If you do not press Ctrl+P at the appropriate time, you must restart the computer and again press Ctrl+P when the monitor light turns green to access the utility. This hot-key enters the Intel Management Engine BIOS Execution (MEBx) setup utility. This utility allows the user to configure various aspects of the management technology. Configuration options include: ● ME Platform Configuration ◦ ME Platform State Control-enable/disable management engine ◦ ME Firmware Local Update-local enable/disable management of firmware updates ◦ LAN Controller-enable/disable integrated network controller ◦ ME Features Control-enable AMT, ASF, or none ◦ ME Power Control-configure management engine power policies ● Intel AMT Configuration ◦ Change AMT Password-required in order to configure AMT (the default password is admin) ◦ Host Name-allows administrator to assign a name to the client ◦ TCP/IP-allows administrator to assign an IP address or enable DHCP ◦ Provisioning Server-allows administrator to assign IP address of provisioning server ◦ Provision Model-allows administrator to configure either enterprise or SMB mode ◦ Set PID and PPS-allows administrator to provide pre-provisioning key (see HP's white paper, Intel vPro Provisioning) ◦ Un-Provision-allows administrator to reset AMT configuration to factory defaults ◦ VLAN-allows administrator to enable LAN virtualization support ◦ SOL/IDE-R-allows administrator to enable remote boot and control sessions ● Change MEBx Password (HP highly recommends that this password be changed. The default password is admin.) In order to remotely manage AMT systems, the administrator must use a remote console that supports AMT. Enterprise management consoles are available from suppliers such as HP, Altiris and Microsoft SMS. In SMB mode, the client provides a Web browser interface. To access this feature, open a browser from any other system on the network and enter http://host_name:16992 where host_name is the name assigned to the system. Alternatively, the IP address may be used in place of the host name. Verdiem Surveyor Verdiem Surveyor is a software solution that helps manage PC energy costs.
