Intel vPro Processor Technology Setup and Configuration for the HP Z1, Z210, Z420, Z620 and Z820 Workstations

The Idle Timeout 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, and
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.
