Platform Management And Protection; Intel Vpro™ Technology; Intel Active Management Technology - Intel DQ67SW Product Manual

Platform Management and Protection

Intel Desktop Board DQ67SW integrates several functions designed to manage the
system and lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the system. These system
management functions are designed to report errors, diagnose the system, and
recover from system lockups without the aid of an external microcontroller. The board
also includes several fan speed control and power management features.

Intel vPro™ Technology
Intel vPro Technology is a set of processor and platform capabilities designed to enable
greater proactive security, enhanced maintenance, and improved remote management
both inside and outside the corporate firewall. These include:
• Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT)
• Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT)
• Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT)
• Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d)
• Intel Fast Call for Help (Intel FCFH)
• Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

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 AMT subsystem consists of:
• Intel Management Engine (Intel ME) microcontroller embedded in the Intel Q67
PCH
• Intel 82579LM Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mb/s) Ethernet LAN controller
• BIOS/SPI Flash (64 Mb)
®
• Intel MEBX reset header
NOTE
Software with Intel AMT capability is required to take advantage of Intel AMT platform
management capabilities.
