SMB Mode – AMT Setup and Configuration Steps:

When going through the options in the MEBx for the first time (Factory phase), the default settings are

in place. This whitepaper details HP recommended settings on options, some of which may be the

same as the default selection. Even though the default setting is set and used for certain options, it is

good practice to double check important options.

1) Hit F10 during the Power On Self Test (POST) to enter Computer Setup.

2) Select AMT Options from the System Configuration menu.

3) Enable Firmware Verbosity, AMT Setup Prompt, USB Key Provisioning Support and Firmware

Progress Event Support.

Note: Intel specifies the FAT16 protocol for the USB Key Provisioning.

4) Hit F10 to accept, then select Save Changes And Exit under the File menu to reboot.

5) Hit Ctrl-P when prompted at the Intel Active Management screen to enter Management Engine

BIOS Extension (MEBx) Setup.

6) Enter the default password.

The default password is "admin". Passwords are case sensitive.

The user must change the default password before any changes can be made in the MEBx.

7) Change the password for the MEBx. (e.g., P@ssw0rd)

The new password must meet the criteria defined in the Password Guideline Section, also known

as a strong password. It must be entered twice for verification.

Changing the password indicates that AMT ownership has been established. The system will go

from Factory phase to In-Setup phase. The ME and AMT options within the MEBx are accessible.

8) Go into the Intel ME Configuration.

a. A message window telling the user that the system resets after configuration will

appear.

b. Select Y.

9) Check the Intel ME State Control.
