7.1 Intel AMT Overview
AIMB-766 supports Intel Active Management Technology 3.0. The hardware and
firmware based solution (ICH9 DO only, for AIMB-766G2-00A1E sku only) is pow-
ered by the system auxiliary power plane to remotely monitor networked systems.

management provides out-of-band management capabilities, allowing remote dis-
covery and repair of systems after OS failures or when a system is powered down.
Alert and event logging features detect problems to quickly reduce downtime, pro-
actively blocking incoming threats, containing infected clients before they impact the
network, and proactively notifying the user when critical software agents are
removed.
Features:
! Out-of-Band system access
