Intel Active Management Technology (AMT)
G20 boards equipped with an Intel Core i7 processor support Intel Active
Management Technology (AMT). Intel AMT is powered by a separate hardware
engine in Intel chipsets which enables e.g. out-of-band (OOB) diagnostics, remote
control, IDE-Redirect, Serial-over-LAN (SOL), agent presence checking and
network traffic filtering.
AMT is supported on the lower front Ethernet interface (ETH2) of the G20. For
information on how to enable the AMT BIOS extension see
Chapter 3 BIOS
.
If the supercapacitor and/or the battery is empty, the G20 loses its complete AMT
settings due to Intel’s security standards.
MEN provides an application note on how to switch on the AMT functionality and
log onto the CPU board via VNC afterwards. See MEN’s
website.
