Energy Saving Settings
The Xi3 NUC is designed to be energy efficient in accordance with ENERGY STAR guidelines. It initially has been
configured with default settings intended to provide a good balance between performance and energy consumption. The
default settings are as follows:
Setting
Default Timing
Turn Off display
− Disables video output to the monitor and allows the
monitor to enter a power-saving mode
− Video and monitor will automatically power-on upon
user activity
− Xi3 NUC keeps running while screen is blank
10 minutes (after no keyboard or mouse activity)
Sleep Mode
− The Xi3 NUC enters a power-saving state and stops
running
− Your work, applications and system state remain
saved in memory as long as the power supply is not
disconnected
− The system will resume upon any user input
(keyboard or mouse)
30 minutes (after no keyboard or mouse activity)
Intel Security and Manageability Technologies
Intel® Security and Manageability Technologies provide the tools and resources to help protect and manage assets.
Intel® vPRO™ Technology
is a collection of platform capabilities that support enhanced manageability, security,
virtualization and power efficiency. The key platform capabilities include:
•
Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) 8.0
•
Intel® Virtualization (Intel® VT)
•
Intel® Virtualization for Directed I/O (Intel® (VT-d)
•
Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT)
•
Intel® Identity Protection Technology (Intel® IPT)
•
Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT)
•
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
Intel® Active Management Technology
, when used with third-party management and security applications, allows for
better discovery, heal, and protection of networked computing assets. Features include:
− Out-of-band (OOB) system access, to discover assets even while PCs are powered off
− Remote trouble-shooting and recovery, which allows remote diagnosis and recovery of systems after OS failures
− Hardware-based agent presence checking that automatically detects and alerts when critical software agents have
been stopped or are missing
− Proactive network defense, which uses filters to block incoming threats while isolating infected clients before they
impact the network
− Remote hardware and software asset tracking, helping to track computer assets and keep virus protection up-to-
date
− Keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) remote control, which allows redirection of managed system’s video to a remote
console which can then interact with it using the console’s own mouse and keyboard
Note: Intel® AMT requires the computer system to have an Intel® AMT-enabled chipset, network hardware and software, as well as
connection with a power source, a corporate network connection, and an Intel® AMT-enabled remote management console. Setup
requires additional configuration of the platform.
Intel® Virtualization Technology
(Intel® VT), is a hardware-assisted technology that, when combined with software-based
virtualization solutions, provides maximum system utilization by consolidating multiple environments into a single server or
client.
Note: Intel® VT requires a chipset, BIOS, enabling software and/or operating system, device drivers, and applications designed for this
feature.
Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O
(Intel® VT-d) allows addresses in incoming I/O device memory
transactions to be remapped to different host addresses. This provides Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) software with:
− Improved reliability and security through device isolation using hardware assisted remapping.
− Improved I/O performance and availability by direct assignment of devices.
