Full Return to Factory Defaults
You can return all AMT to factory default by clearing CMOS. This includes resetting the password to the
default admin. However, settings in the ME, such as the ME Power Settings, are not reset. You must man-
ually reset those settings to the default for the system to be in a true factory default state.
You cannot remotely manage the system until it is set up and configured again.
USB Drive Key Set Up and Configuration
You can set up and locally configure password, PID, and PPS information with a USB drive key. This fea-
ture allows an IT technician to manually setup and configure systems without the problems associated with
manually typing in entries.
The following is a typical USB drive key setup and configuration procedure:
1.
An IT technician inserts a USB drive key into a system with a management console.
2.
The technician request local setup and configuration records from an S&CS through the console.
3.
The S&CS:
a. Generates the appropriate passwords, PID, and PPS sets.
b. Stores this information in its database.
c. Returns the information to the management console.
4.
The management console writes the password, PID, and PPS sets to a Setup.bin file in the USB drive
key.
5.
The technician takes the USB drive key to the staging area where new AMT platforms are located.
The technician:
a. Unpacks and connects platforms, if necessary.
b. Inserts the USB drive key into a platform.
c. Turns on that platform.
6.
The system BIOS detects the USB drive key.
a. If found, the BIOS looks for a Setup.bin file at the beginning of the drive key. Skip to Step 7.
b. If no USB drive key or Setup.bin file is found, then boot normally. Ignore Steps 7-11.
