MEBx Interface (Enterprise Mode)
The Intel® Management Engine BIOS Extension (MEBx) is an optional ROM module that Intel provides to Dell™ to be included
in the Dell BIOS. The MEBx has been customized for Dell computers.
Enterprise mode (for large corporate customers) requires a setup and configuration server (SCS). An SCS runs an application
over a network that performs Intel AMT setup and configuration. The SCS is also known as a provisioning server as seen in
