Intel ME Interface (Intel Management Engine Interface)
The Intel ME Interface driver allows third party agents in the user operating system to communicate with
the ME for out-of-band access to the non-volatile data store. All third party software products supporting
Intel vPro technology may not utilize these operating system services.
The Intel ME Interface driver controls the management engine that enumerates under System Devices in
Device Manager.
The MEI driver for Windows XP and Vista 32-bit is HECI.SYS.
The MEI driver for Vista 64-bit is HECIX64.SYS.
NOTE: Using Remote Configuration on an HP Compaq dc7700p system that has been updated to AMT
2.2 requires updating the MEI (HECI.SYS) driver to version 2.1.22.1026 or later.
SOL (Serial-over-LAN)
The SOL driver allows a management system to remotely display the keyboard interface of a managed cli-
ent. The display is typically shown through a management console, and it emulates serial communication
over standard network connection. This allows a management system to remotely control a client system.
SOL is also known as KT (Keyboard and Text redirection).
