Intel AMT overview

The onboard Intel 82573E Ethernet controller has built-in support for Intel AMT. This technology enables system administrators to monitor and protect their networked computing assets, even in situations where the client system is ordinarily inaccessible (such as a crashed hard drive or a locked operating system), reducing network downtime.

Intel AMT features

•Out-of-band (OOB) system access for remote PC management regardless of system power or OS state

•Proactive alerting for faster problem detection and less network downtime

•Remote troubleshooting and recovery for increased IT efficiency with fewer deskside visits

•Remote hardware asset tracking for increased speed and accuracy with reduced accounting costs, compared to manual tracking

Intel AMT functions

System administrators can use a web browser 5 to perform basic management tasks. The web server built into each Intel AMT system enables one to:

•View the system status

•View the hardware installed in the system

•View, enable/disable, and clean the Intel AMT event log

•Remotely power the computer on or off (when enabled in the client system BIOS)

•View and manage Intel AMT network parameters

•View and manage Intel AMT user accounts
