Intel me power control, Intel me on in host sleep states – Dell Latitude D630 User Manual
Page 8
When you change the option from Intel AMT to None, a warning that Intel AMT un-provisions automatically if you accept the change appears.
The None option has no manageability feature provided by the ME computer. In this case, the firmware is loaded (that is, ME is still enabled) but the
management applications remain disabled.
Intel ME Power Control
The ME Power Control menu configures the ME platform power-related options. It contains the following configuration selection.
ME On in Host Sleep States
When the ME ON in Host Sleep States option is selected on the ME Power Control menu, the ME in Host Sleep States menu loads.
The power package selected determines when the ME is turned ON. The default power package turns off the ME in all Sx (S3/S4/S5) states.
The end user administrator can choose which power package is used depending on computer usage. The power package selection page can be seen above.
* WoL – Wake on LAN
If the power package selected indicates OFF After Power Loss, Intel ME remains off after returning from a mechanical off (G3) state. If the power package
selected does NOT indicate OFF After Power Loss Intel ME powers the computer on (S0) briefly, then turn the computer off (S5).
Configuring Your Computer to Support Intel AMT Management Features
After you completely configure the Intel® Management Engine (ME) feature, you must reboot before configuring the Intel AMT for a clean boot. The image
below shows the Intel AMT configuration menu after a user selects the Intel AMT Configuration option from the Management Engine BIOS Extension
(MEBx) main menu. This feature allows you to configure an Intel AMT capable computer to support the Intel AMT management features.
You need to have a basic understanding of networking and computer technology terms, such as TCP/IP, DHCP, VLAN, IDE, DNS, subnet mask, default gateway,
and domain name. Explaining these terms is beyond the scope of this document.
