AMT Configuration

After you completely configure the Intel

Management Engine (ME) feature, you must reboot before configuring the Intel AMT

for a clean system boot. Select the

Intel AMT configuration

option from the

Management Engine BIOS Extension

(MEBx)

main menu. This feature allows you to configure an Intel AMT-capable computer to support the Intel AMT

management features.

NOTE:

You need to have a basic understanding of networking and computer technology terms, such as TCP/IP, DHCP,

VLAN, IDE, DNS, subnet mask, default gateway, and domain name. Explaining these terms is beyond the scope of this

document.
