MEBx Settings Overview
The Intel® Management Engine BIOS Extension (MEBx) provides platform-level configuration options for you to configure the
behavior of Management Engine (ME) platform. Options include enabling and disabling individual features and setting power
configurations.

All the ME Platform Configuration setting changes are not cached in MEBx. They are committed to ME non-volatile memory
(NVM) until you exit MEBx. Hence, if MEBx crashes, the changes made until that point are NOT going to be committed to ME
NVM.
