Intel® Active Management Technology

NOTE: iAMT is available for Dell™ Latitude™ D630c computers with iAMT capability only.

Intel Active Management Technology (iAMT), part of Intel Centrino® Pro Technology, is intended to deliver more secure systems management capabilities that reduce IT costs, and allows better discovery, healing, and protection of networked computing assets. With iAMT, PCs can be managed whether the computer is turned on or off, or the operating system is not responding.

NOTE: iAMT can be configured using Dell Client Manager (DCM) 2.1. For complete information about how to configure iAMT, see the Dell Client Manager 2.1 documentation at dell.com\openmanage. For more information about Dell's iAMT implementation, see the Systems Management Administrator's Guide at support.dell.com.

Key benefits of iAMT are:

•Reduced desk-side visits

•Automation of more management functionality through enablement of systems management console software

•Improved security
