This quick guide will help you with the basic configuration steps of the Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) installed on your newly purchased Intel vPro-equipped Veriton PC.

First-Time Configuration
1. Entering Management Engine Setup (CTRL+P) When booting an Intel AMT-enabled PC, right after the initial BIOS screen, quickly press Ctrl+P to access the Management Engine (ME) setup. The Management Engine BIOS Extension (MEBx) is a module that allows you to configure the settings that control the operation of the client PC Management Engine. 2. Default MEBx Password Upon entering MEBx for the first time, you will be required to enter the default password, which is "admin". 3. Change MEBx Password After you enter the MEBx setup, you will need to change the password. The ME password must meet all "strong" password criteria, which include: Between 8 and 32 characters long Contain both upper- and lower-case Latin characters Have at least one numeric character Have at least one ASCII non-alphanumeric character (!, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *) Example: P@ssw0rd would work. 4. Configure SMB Mode Enter the "Intel AMT Configuration" menu. By default, a new PC is set in Enterprise Mode; you will see "Provisioning Server" listed in the menu. For a simple setup, you are advised to change to SMB mode. Select "Provision Model" a. Select "SMALL BUSINESS".
5. Configure Network (Sampled with DHCP) Enter the "TCP/IP" Menu a. When asked to disable the network interface, select "N" (No). b. When asked to enable/disable DHCP, enable it. c. When asked about Domain name, leave it as is (it's not relevant in SMB mode). If your network environment is set in Static IP mode, please check the network configuration section below. 6. Configure the Host Name Enter the "Host Name" Menu a. Enter the system host name.
