 Intel® Active Management Technology requires an Intel® AMT-enabled chipset, network hardware and software, as well as connection with a power source 
and a corporate network connection. Setup requires configuration by the purchaser and may require scripting with the management console or further 
integration into existing security frameworks to enable certain functionality. It may also require modifications of implementation of new business processes.
