Intel® Active Management Technology (AMT) (Optional)
Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) offers IT organizations tamper-resistant and persistent management capabilities. Specifically, Intel® AMT is a hardware-based solution that offers encrypted and persistent asset management and remote diagnostics and/or recovery capabilities for networked platforms. With Intel AMT, IT organizations can easily get accurate platform information, and can perform remote updating, diagnostics, debugging and repair of a system, regardless of the state of the operating system and the power state of the system. Intel AMT enables IT organizations to discover, heal, and protect all of their computing assets, regardless of system state in the manner described below. · Discovering hardware and software computing assets: Intel AMT stores hardware and software asset information in non-volatile memory and allows IT to read the asset information anytime, even if the PC is off Users cannot remove or prevent IT organization access to the information because it does not rely on software agents

Healing systems remotely, regardless of the operating system or system state: Intel AMT provides out-of-band diagnostics and recovery capabilities for IT organizations to remotely diagnose and repair PCs after software, operating system, or hardware failures Alerting and event logging help IT organizations detect and diagnose problems quickly to reduce end-user downtime Protecting the enterprise against malicious software attacks: Intel AMT helps IT organizations keep software versions and virus protection consistent and up-to-date across the enterprise Version information is stored in non-volatile memory for access anytime by third party software to check and, if necessary, wake a system to perform off-hours updates. Secure Out of Band (OOB) system management that allows remote management of PCs regardless of system power or operating system state. SSL3. 1/TLS encryption HTTP authentication TCP/IP HTTP web GUI XML/SOAP API Remote troubleshooting and recovery that can significantly reduce desk-side visits and potentially increasing efficiency of IT technical staff. System event log IDE-R or PXE boot; Network drive or remote CD boot Serial over LAN OOB diagnostics Remote control Remote BIOS update Proactive alerting that decreases downtime and minimizes time to repair. Programmable policies Operating system lock-up alert Boot failure alert Hardware failure alerts Third party non-volatile storage that prevents users from removing critical inventory, remote control, or virus protection agents. Nonvolatile storage for agents Tamper-resistant Remote hardware and software asset tracking that eliminates time-consuming manual inventory tracking, which also reduces asset accounting costs.

Fan Monitoring
Fan monitoring can be implemented using Intel Desktop Utilities or third-party software. The level of monitoring and control is dependent on the hardware monitoring ASIC used with the Desktop Board.
For information about The functions of the fan connectors Refer to Section 1. 14. 2. 2, page 40
1. 13. 4
Chassis Intrusion and Detection
The board supports a chassis security feature that detects if the chassis cover is removed. The security feature uses a mechanical switch on the chassis that attaches to the chassis intrusion connector. When the chassis cover is removed, the mechanical switch is in the closed position.
1. 14 Power Management
Power management is implemented at several levels, including: · · Software support through Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Hardware support: Power connector Fan connectors LAN wake capabilities Instantly Available PC technology Resume on Ring Wake from USB Wake from PS/2 devices Power Management Event signal (PME#) wake-up support PCI Express WAKE# signal support

ACPI
ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play functions of a computer. [. . . ] The user password gives restricted access to view and change Setup options in the BIOS Setup program. If only the supervisor password is set, pressing the <Enter> key at the password prompt of the BIOS Setup program allows the user restricted access to Setup. If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, users can enter either the supervisor password or the user password to access Setup. If only the supervisor password is set, the computer boots without asking for a password. [. . . ]
