1.1.5.1 Intel ME – Intel ME Configuration
Under the Intel ME Configuration menu, the user will be able to disable Intel AMT (enabled by default); select
the Intel ME Power Policy; and set the Idle Timeout, the amount of time, in seconds, Intel ME must be idle
before it will enter its lowest-power state (valid values are from 1 – 65535). These options are shown in
Figure 8.
Note: If Intel AMT is enabled, on-board LAN (found under BIOS Setup - Configuration / On-Board Devices)
cannot be disabled. See Figure 4.
Choosing Power Policy 1 (On in S0) effectively disables Intel AMT Out-of-Band (OOB) operation. Power
Policy 2 (On in S0, ME Wake in S3, S4-S5) allows Intel ME and Intel AMT to operate when the system is turned
off or in a standby state. After the Idle Timeout timer has expired, Intel ME will enter its lowest power state,
but can be awakened by network traffic directed at the Intel ME without waking the entire system.
Note: Actual time required before Intel ME will enter into its lowest power state is approximately Idle
Timeout plus 1½ minutes.
