Intel ME State Control

When the 

ME State Control

 option is selected on the 

ME Platform Configuration

 menu, the 

ME State Control

 menu

appears. You can disable ME to isolate the ME computer from the main platform until the end of the debugging process.

The Intel ME State Control option 

(enable/disable)

 provides the ability to disable the Intel ME for debugging purposes.

Disabling the Intel ME through the MEBx prevents the Intel ME code from executing. This allows an IT technician to eliminate

the Intel ME as the potential problem.

ME Platform State Control

Option

Description

Enabled

Enable the Management Engine on the platform

Disabled

Disable the Management Engine on the platform

NOTE: 

“Disabling” the Intel ME does not really disable it. It causes the Intel ME code to be halted at an early stage of

the Intel ME’s booting so that the system has no traffic originating from the Intel ME on any of the buses. This is not

intended to be normal operation mode nor is it supported configuration and is for debug only. This allows an IT

technician to debug a system problem without any interference from the Intel ME.

Change Intel ME Password

1.  At the Intel ME New Password prompt, type your new password. (Please be aware of the password policies and

restrictions mentioned in 

changing the Intel ME Password requirement

)

2.  At the Verify Password prompt, re-type your new password.
