Introduction

Active Management Technology (Intel
®
AMT) is a hardware-
based solution that uses out-of-band communication for basic
management of client systems. Even with a crashed hard drive, a
locked operating system, or if a system is turned off, access is still
available to perform basic system management tasks.
This guide contains basic Intel AMT configuration instructions and
information on using a web browser to access an Intel AMT client
system. Additional advanced features of Intel AMT are available
through software from vendors that support this new management
technology For a list of software vendors that support the advanced
