Introduction; Amt Setup And Configuration - HP Z200 - Small Form Factor Workstation Setup And Configuration Manual

Introduction

The HP Z200 workstation utilizes Intel AMT processor technology to simplify PC
management and reduce IT related expenditures. Intel AMT processor technology
allows for improved management of PC systems and better security.
AMT provides Out-of-Band (OOB) remote access to a system regardless of the
system power state or operating system condition as long as the system is
connected to a power source and a network. AMT is a hardware and firmware
platform resident solution relying upon the Management Engine (ME) within the
Intel 3450 chipset.
By default, the AMT shipping on the HP Z200 will be inactive. It must be setup and
configured in the system before it can be used. The setup and configuration
process is also known as provisioning. There are two methods of AMT setup and
configuration:
Manual mode (similar to Small Medium Business (SMB) mode in AMT 5.0)
•
Enterprise mode
•
This whitepaper details Manual mode and Enterprise mode setup and configuration
for the client PC along with the usage of a Setup and Configuration Server (SCS) in
Enterprise mode. Please consult with your Management Console ISV provider for
details regarding installation procedures for a Setup and Configuration Server.
Basic knowledge of Intel AMT and networking are required.

technical information regarding Intel AMT

AMT Setup and Configuration

AMT must be Setup and Configured in a system before it can be used.
AMT Setup involves the necessary steps to enable AMT such as setting up the
system for AMT mode and enabling network connectivity. It is generally performed
only once for the lifetime of the system. When AMT is enabled, it can be
discovered by management software over a network.
AMT Configuration is setting up all the other AMT options not covered in AMT
Setup such as enabling the system for Serial-Over-LAN (SOL) or IDE-Redirect (IDE-R).
Settings modified in the Configuration phase can be changed many times over the
course of a system's lifespan. Changes can be made to the system locally or
through a management console.
