Resetting with Un-configure
Note
If the AMT PC still has its factory settings, for example has just been purchased, you can
skip this section.
If you have already configured AMT previously, it is best to discard all the previous AMT
settings made in the MEBx.
Note
All previous settings in the management engine are deleted.
Correct operation in the plant may be at risk.
Note down all the settings in the MEBx. Make the settings again as necessary following
Unconfigure.
To reset the AMT settings, follow these steps:
1.
Enable the "Un-configure ME" entry in "Advanced > Active Management Technology
Support" in the BIOS.
2.
Exit the BIOS with the <F10> key "Save and Exit". The AMT PC restarts.
3.
After the restart, a user prompt appears asking whether you really want to discard all the
settings in the management engine:
4.
Confirm with "Y". On a German keyboard, this means pressing the <Z> key.
The device continues to boot with the factory settings of the management engine.
