Desktop Board Features Platform Management and Protection Intel Desktop Board DQ67SW integrates several functions designed to manage the system and lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the system. These system management functions are designed to report errors, diagnose the system, and recover from system lockups without the aid of an external microcontroller. The board also includes several fan speed control and power management features. Intel® vPro™ Technology Intel vPro Technology is a set of processor and platform capabilities designed to enable greater proactive security, enhanced maintenance, and improved remote management both inside and outside the corporate firewall. These include: • Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) • Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) • Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT) • Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d) • Intel Fast Call for Help (Intel FCFH) • Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Intel® Active Management Technology Intel AMT offers IT organizations tamper-resistant and persistent management capabilities. Specifically, Intel AMT is a hardware-based solution that uses out of band communication to manage access to client systems in addition to offering encrypted and persistent asset management and remote diagnostics and/or recovery capabilities for networked platforms. With Intel AMT, IT organizations can easily get accurate platform information, and can perform remote updating, diagnostics, debugging, and repair of a system, regardless of the state of the operating system or the power state of the system. The Intel AMT subsystem consists of: • Intel Management Engine (Intel ME) microcontroller embedded in the Intel Q67 PCH • Intel 82579LM Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mb/s) Ethernet LAN controller • BIOS/SPI Flash (64 Mb) • Intel® MEBX reset header NOTE Software with Intel AMT capability is required to take advantage of Intel AMT platform management capabilities. 25
