settings, see Resetting the Intel® AMT to the default settings and disabling AMT

Resetting the Intel® AMT to the default settings and disabling AMT
If Intel® AMT has already been configured, it is advisable to reset Intel® AMT to the default
settings. One effect of resetting to the default settings is that Intel® AMT is disabled.
You can skip this point if you have a new IPC in the factory state.
Procedure
Proceed as follows to reset the Intel® AMT to the default values:
1.
Press "F2" in the boot sequence to open the BIOS.
2.
Select the "Active Management Technology Support" command in the Advanced menu,
for an IPC547D/IPC547E select "AMT Configuration".
3.
Set "Un-Configure ME" or "Un-Configure AMT/ME" to Enabled.
