Quick Start Guide

Intel Active Management with System Defense Feature
Quick Reference Guide 3
Introduction
Intel
®
Active Management Technology with System Defense
Feature (Intel
®
AMT) is a hardware-based solution that uses
out-of-band communication for system management access to
client systems. Even with a crashed hard drive, a locked
operating system, or if a system is turned off, access is still
available to the client system to perform basic management
tasks.
This guide contains basic system configuration instructions and
information on using a web browser to access a client system.
Advanced features of Intel AMT are available from software
vendors that support these new management technologies.
Advanced features are outside the scope of this guide. Please
see http://www.intel.com/technology/manage/iamt/ for more
information and a list of software vendors that support Intel
Active Management Technology with System Defense Feature.
Basic Functions
A web browser can be used to perform basic management
tasks. The web server on each Intel AMT system enables
administrators to:
• View the system status.
• View the hardware installed in the system.
• View, start/stop, and clean the Intel AMT event log.
• Remotely reset, or power the computer on or off (when
enabled in the client system BIOS).
• View and manage Intel AMT network parameters.
• View and manage Intel AMT user accounts.
• View and configure VLAN settings.
System Requirements
Client System
The client system must be a computer with Intel
®
PRO Network
Connections that includes Intel Active Management Technology
with System Defense Feature. The operating system loaded on
the client system does not matter.
