Intel AMT overview
The onboard Intel 82573E Ethernet controller has built-in support for
Intel AMT. This technology enables system administrators to monitor
and protect their networked computing assets, even in situations
where the client system is ordinarily inaccessible (such as a crashed
hard drive or a locked operating system), reducing network downtime.
Intel AMT features
• Out-of-band (OOB) system access for remote PC management
regardless of system power or OS state
• Proactive alerting for faster problem detection and less network
downtime
• Remote troubleshooting and recovery for increased IT efficiency
with fewer deskside visits
• Remote hardware asset tracking for increased speed and accuracy
with reduced accounting costs, compared to manual tracking
Intel AMT functions
System administrators can use a web browser

to perform basic
management tasks. The web server built into each Intel AMT system
enables one to:
• View the system status
• View the hardware installed in the system
• View, enable/disable, and clean the Intel AMT event log
• Remotely power the computer on or off (when enabled in the
client system BIOS)
• View and manage Intel AMT network parameters
• View and manage Intel AMT user accounts
