Active Management Technology requires the computer system to have an Intel
®
AMT-enabled chipset, network hardware and software, as well as connection with a power source and a corporate network connection. Setup requires configuration by the purchaser and may require scripting with the management console or further integration into existing security frameworks to enable certain functionality. It may also require modifications of implementation of new business processes. With regard to notebooks, Intel AMT may not be available or certain capabilities may be limited over a host OS-based VPN or when connecting wirelessly, on battery power, sleeping, hibernating or powered off. For more information, see www.intel.com/technology/platform-technology/intel-amt/

®
ME Manageability
Features
The Intel MEBX menu for digital office SKUs provides platform level configuration options for the IT-administrator to configure the behavior of the Intel ME platform.
The behavior includes platform configuration such as individual feature enable/disable and power configurations.
The following section provides the details on each Intel MEBX configuration option and the constraints, if any, for a given option.
Note: When you change Intel
®
ME Platform Configuration settings, the changes are committed to the Intel ME‟s non-volatile memory when you exit from Intel MEBX (the changes are not cached). Therefore, if Intel MEBX crashes before you exit, the changes made until that point are LOST and the changed settings are NOT saved.
3.1 Access Intel
®
MEBX Configuration User Interface
The Intel MEBX configuration user interface can be accessed on a client system through the following steps:
1. On rebooting the system, after the initial boot screen, the following message will be displayed: „Press <CTRL-P> to enter Intel® ME Setup‟
Note: To enter the Intel MEBX, press <Ctrl-P> as soon as possible, since this message is displayed for only a few seconds. Also note that the OEM may replace the control character <Ctrl-P> with another one or don‟t display it at all.
Note: <Ctrl-P> will be hidden when SoL or KVM session is established. Users are not able to access MEBx UI in this scenario.
Note: If Intel® AMT has been configured, <CTLR-ALT-F1> will also be displayed along with
<CTRL-P>. It is designed for end users to use Fast call for Help feature either inside or outside of corporate network environment when Intel® AMT systems are not discovered by management console.

2. Enter the Intel Management Engine password under „MEBX Password‟. Press
Enter. The default password is „admin‟. This default password can be altered by
the user. Please refer to section 3.3 for Intel ME password details.
3. The Intel MEBX screen is displayed, as shown in section 3.2.

3.3
Intel® ME Manageability Features
Change Intel
®
ME Password
The default password is “admin” and is configured identically on all newly deployed platforms. When an IT administrator first enters the Intel MEBX configuration menu with the default password, he or she must change the default password before any feature can be used.
The new Intel MEBX password must meet the following requirements for strong passwords:
1. Password Length: At least 8 characters, and no more than 32.
2. Password Complexity: Password must include the following:
At least one digit character („0‟, „1‟, … „9‟)
At least one 7-bit ASCII non alpha-numeric character (e.g. '!', '$', ';'), but excluding „:‟,
„,‟ and „”‟ characters.
At least one lower-case letter ('a', „b‟…‟z‟) and at least one upper case letter ('A',
„B‟…'Z').
Note: „_‟ (underscore) and „ „ (whitespace) are valid password characters but do NOT contribute to the password‟s complexity.
Note: There are certain limitations creating passwords with non-US layout keyboards.
Remote system connectivity may occur if different keyboard layouts are used on the same hardware.
Note: When entering more than 32 characters the software changes the 32 nd character on every new character pressed when in the last character position in the
MEBx UI. So whatever the last character typed on the 32 nd
position, it will replace the existing character in that position.
Note: The password can be reset to the default setting (admin) by shutting down the system, removing AC and DC power and performing a RTC reset.

MEBX CPU Replacement Flow
The Intel
®
MEBX is responsible for identifying CPU replacement, whenever CPU Type changes between CORE (vPro eligible) CPU, Core (Non-vPro eligible) CPU, PENTIUM
CPU and CELERON CPU. MEBX is responsible for notifying Intel
®
ME FW about CPU
TYPE populated. In return Intel
®
ME FW may request popup message to be exposed to
End User demanding CPU Replacement approval.
The scenarios that result in Intel
®
MEBX displaying CPU Replacement related message to End User is:
1) CPU Type was Downgraded, e.g. from CORE (vPro eligible) CPU to PENTIUM
CPU or from Core (Non-vPro eligible) CPU to CELERON CPU.
In this scenario Intel® ME FW will request End User Approval since Intel
®
ME FW feature set strongly relies on plugged in CPU TYPE. The message is displayed to guard End User before unintentional CPU downgrades which would automatically result in loosing Intel
®
ME FW feature set, for example un-configuration of AMT
Feature Set. Instead, End User has option of either accepting CPU change or rejecting it before Intel
®
ME FW triggers System Features reconfiguration. If End
User decides to reject the CPU change, it is required to shut down the platform and replace original CPU. If no End User interaction is provided then after 10 seconds wait time, Intel
®
MEBX will follow up assuming End User accepted CPU change.
The following exceptions capture when Intel® ME FW will not request CPU
Replacement confirmation from End User (and the CPU Replacement message will not be shown):
1. When system is in Manufacturing Mode Intel® ME FW doesn‟t expect any messaging from user – in other words it‟s assumed to be informed change in
CPU.
2. First boot after flashing in ME Region – Intel® ME FW doesn‟t expect any CPU replacement related flows that require user assistance
Intel Confidential
103
104
Intel® ME Manageability Features
3. When CPU Type was upgraded and new system features are enabled Intel®
ME FW doesn‟t expect any CPU replacement related flows that require user assistance. The examples of such an upgrade are: a. CELERON CPU changed to PENTIUM CPU b. CELERON CPU changed to Core (Non-vPro eligible) CPU c. CELERON CPU changed to CORE (vPro eligible) CPU d. PENTIUM CPU changed to Core (Non-vPro eligible) CPU e. PENTIUM CPU changed to CORE (vPro eligible) CPU f. Core (Non-vPro eligible) CPU changed to CORE (vPro eligible) CPU
Figure 80 represents message that will be exposed to End User whenever CPU
Replacement took place downgrading CPU capabilities. This message will not be shown if replaced CPU has the same capabilities as the old one (e.g. changing PENTIUM capable CPU to another PENTIUM capable CPU).
The message will be shown for 10 seconds and if End User did NEITHER pressed “y” or “Y” key NOR shut down the platform Intel
®
MEBX will proceed with assumption that End User approved CPU change.
The valid changes that will result in the following message are:
1) CORE (vPro eligible) CPU changed to Core (Non-vPro eligible) CPU
2) CORE (vPro eligible) CPU changed to PENTIUM CPU
3) CORE (vPro eligible) CPU changed to CELERON CPU
4) Core (Non-vPro eligible) CPU changed to PENTIUM CPU
5) Core (Non-vPro eligible) CPU changed to CELERON CPU
6) PENTIUM CPU changed to CELERON CPU.
The following actions are expected to be done by End User when the message from
Figure 86 is shown:
1) Press “y” or “Y” if End User approves CPU change that was performed on purpose. Platform global reset
*
will follow in which Intel
®
ME will populate new feature set to whole ME infrastructure (kernel and all applications) based on modified CPU type.
Intel Confidential
Intel® ME Manageability Features
2) Press “n” or any other key if End User disapproves CPU replacement change and CPU was replaced unintentionally. The system will halt permanently displaying the message shown in Figure 80. End User is expected to shut down the platform and replace original CPU.
3) If no action is perfromed by End User for 10 seconds Intel
®
MEBX will follow up assuming End User accepted CPU change. Platform global reset
*
will follow in which Intel
®
ME will populate new feature set to whole ME infrastructure
(kernel and all applications) based on modified CPU type.
Note*: Two resets might be observed as the 2nd reset is due to the SOL/IDER setting changed when changing occurs between vPro CPU and non-vPro CPU. Please refer to

Appendix B: Changes to Redirection
Protocols
Before Intel AMT 6, firmware had the small/medium business (SMB) and the enterprise (ENT) provisioning modes. ENT was inherently more secure than SMB, which was meant to be more open and easy, but less secure. This change had an effect on the redirection protocols.
Before Intel AMT 6:
SMB: redirection ports were left open and Intel ME was listening constantly to the ports. ISV‟s writing consoles that dealt with redirection would then just open a connection to the ME machine. No extra steps were needed. The following flow was used:
1. Open a connection
2. Perform redirection actions (SOL/IDER)
3. Close the connection.
ENT:
Redirection ports were closed meaning Intel ME was not listening for redirection connections. An SMB console wishing to open a connection to an ENT machine would fail since the ports were closed. For the connection to succeed (and how ENT consoles are implemented in the market) the following flow was used:
1. Send “open port” command to the Intel ME machine
2. Open a connection
3. Perform redirection actions (SOL/IDER)
4. Close the connection
5. Send “close port” command to the Intel ME machine
In Intel AMT 6 and Intel AMT 7:
Since both provisioning modes are combined, the more secure option was chosen, but to ensure backwards compatibility for older SMB consoles (that need the ports left
108
Intel Confidential
Intel® ME Manageability Features
open to succeed in creating SOL/IDER connections since they do not send the open/close commands) we needed another setting, the “legacy redirection mode”.
If “legacy redirection mode” is set to enabled, the ports are left open, and SMB consoles will be able to connect (open and close the port is not needed)
If “legacy redirection mode” is set to disabled, the ports are closed and the console needs the extra command to open/close the ports in order to connect.
The user can go into Intel MEBx, or use a USB key to set this setting. If the USB key is a legacy one prepared by an SMB console, Intel MEBx automatically sets the legacy redirection mode to Enabled. Since SMB configuration required manual touch anyway, this poses no customer issue.

Appendix C: Global Reset from MEBx
Several MEBx configuration options require a global reset after they have been edited by the user. The reset is flagged while in the MEBx UI and passed back to BIOS to perform the reset request. The MEBx UI has to keep track of which configuration options require a global reset after exiting MEBx. Multiple techniques are used to ensure the global reset flow is entered correctly. The MEBx uses 2 flags for its logic related to signaling global resets: Reboot and Exit. The „Reboot‟ flag indicates that the current option will require a reboot after exiting MEBx. The „Exit‟ flag is used to force the user out of the MEBx UI.
Reboot – MEBx must set this flag when an option that requires a global reset has been edited from its original state. A list of global reset options is itemized in the table below.
Exit – MEBx must completely exit the UI immediately after editing the option.

2. ME Unconfiguration without MEBx password through system BIOS setting

3. ME Unconfiguration by clearing CMOS
These global resets happen when BIOS execute MEBx binary during post. In these cases MEBx will pass the global reset flag to BIOS to perform global reset without going through MEBx User Interface.

Appendix D: PID-PPS Checksum
The PID and PPS are made up of ASCII codes of some combination of characters – capital alphabet characters (A–Z), and numbers (0–9).
• The PID is an eight character entry of the form: XXXX-XXXC (where "C" is the
CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) of the preceding characters) and is sent in the open.
• The PPS is a thirty-two character quantity of the form:
XXXC-XXXC-XXXC-XXXC-XXXC-XXXC-XXXC-XXXC (where "C" is the CRC of the preceding characters) and is a secret shared between the Intel AMT device and the Setup and Configuration Server.
When the PID and PPS are entered via the MEBx sub menu/USB key, the firmware checks for checksum characters embedded in the values. The last character of the
PID is expected to be a checksum of the previous seven characters, and the fourth character in each group of four characters in the PPS is expected to be a checksum of the previous three characters. This check is made to reduce the possibility of operator error when entering these values.
