USB Drive Key Requirements

The USB drive key must meet the following requirements to be able to setup and configure AMT:

It must be greater than 16MB.

It must be formatted with the FAT16 file system.

The sector size must be 1KB.

The USB drive key is not bootable.

The Setup.bin file must be the first file landed on the USB drive key.

AMT WebGUI

The Intel AMT WebGUI is a web browser-based interface for limited remote system management. The
WebGUI is often used as a test to determine if AMT setup and configuration was performed properly on
a system. A successful remote connection between a remote system and the host system running the
WebGUI indicates proper AMT setup and configuration on the remote system.
