About out-of-band management
Remote management of client computers often requires the managed computer
to be turned on with an operating system running. When a computer is turned
on with a running operating system, the computer is considered in-band.
Out-of-band is when a client computer is in one of the following out-of-band states:
■
The computer is plugged in but is not actively running (off, standby,
hibernating).
■
The operating system is not loaded (software or boot failure).
■
The software-based management agent is not available.
Out-of-band management is the ability to manage computers in these states.
Computers with Intel AMT, ASF, DASH, or IPMI capabilities can be managed out
of band.
