16. Skip Set PRTC
17. Power Control
a. Intel ME ON in Host Sleep States.
Default Setting : Desktop: ON in S0
Recommended Setting : Desktop: ON is S0, ME Wake in S3, S4-5
b. Idle Timeout
Default Setting : 65535
Recommended Setting: :65535
This option sets the timeout value for Wake-On-ME.
The default timeout value is 65535 from the factory and it is in units of a minute. HP
recommends a setting of 65535 for most applications. Certain console vendor’s
product falsely detects an AMT system as disconnected if the software has to wait for
the ME to wake and respond. If the console software being used does not have this
issue, HP recommends a setting of 1, which allows the ME to go to sleep after
approximately 1 minute of inactivity. This allows for maximum power savings when
the ME is enabled to be on in S3, S4, or S5.
The timeout value can be set in decimal and hexadecimal notation. It must be set to a
non-zero value for the ME to take advantage of Wake-On-ME.
This value is not used when the system is in an active state – S0.
This value is used only if the ME ON in Host Sleep State setting is set to allow ME
WoL.
See Appendix C for an explanation of Wake-On-ME / ME WoL.
