Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) offers IT organizations tamper-
resistant and persistent management capabilities. Specifically, Intel AMT is a
hardware-based solution that uses out of band communication to manage access to
client systems in addition to offering encrypted and persistent asset management and
remote diagnostics and/or recovery capabilities for networked platforms. With Intel
AMT, IT organizations can easily get accurate platform information, and can perform
remote updating, diagnostics, debugging and repair of a system, regardless of the
state of the operating system or the power state of the system.
The Intel Active Management Technology subsystem consists of:
• ARC4 microcontroller embedded in the Intel Q35 Graphics and Memory Controller
Hub (GMCH)
• Intel 82801IDO Controller Hub (ICH9DO)
• Intel 82566DM-2 Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbits/sec) Ethernet LAN controller
• Channel A DIMM(s)
• BIOS/SPI Flash (32 Mbits)
• On-board Intel AMT status LED
NOTE
Software with AMT capability is required to take advantage of Intel AMT platform
management capabilities.
