Intel AMT versions

Intel AMT versions

Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) is hardware-based technology built into PCs with Intel vPro technology. AMT is designed to help sys-admins remotely manage and secure PCs out-of-band when PC power is off, the operating system (OS) is unavailable (hung, crashed, corrupted, missing), software management agents are missing, or hardware such as a hard disk drive or memory) has failed.cite web |title=Intel Centrino 2 with vPro Technology and Intel Core2 Processor with vPro Technology|url=ftp://download.intel.com/products/vpro/whitepaper/crossclient.pdf |publisher=Intel|date=2008|accessdate=2008-08-07] cite web |title=Architecture Guide: Intel Active Management Technology|url=http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/articles/eng/1032.htm |publisher=Intel|date=2008-06-26|accessdate=2008-08-12] cite web |title=Remote Pc Management with Intel's vPro |url=http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/command-conquer,1591.html |publisher=Tom's Hardware Guide|accessdate=2007-11-21] cite web |title=Intel vPro Chipset Lures MSPs, System Builders|url=http://www.crn.com/white-box/201802550|publisher=ChannelWeb|accessdate=Aug 2007] cite web |title=Intel Mostly Launches Centrino 2 Notebook Platform|url=http://www.crn.com/hardware/209100230?queryText=vPro|publisher=ChannelWeb|accessdate=July 2008]

Versions

Intel AMT is built into a small secondary processor located on the motherboard. This OOB controller has embedded firmware that runs on the Manageability Engine (ME), a separate small ARC architecture processor built into the Northbridge (or NIC for AMT 1.0) of the motherboard. The AMT firmware is stored in the same SPI flash memory component used to store the BIOS and is generally updated along with the BIOS. FWH (Firmware Hub) or LPC firmware storage is not supported for AMT.cite web |title=Architecture Guide: Intel Active Management Technology|url=http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/articles/eng/1032.htm |publisher=Intel|accessdate=2008-06-26]

In general, an AMT version can be updated in software to the next minor version. New major releases of Intel AMT are built into a new chipset, and are updated through new hardware.
