Alternatively, the customer can provide HP with their own set of Admin Password, PID, and PPS to use
for the order. HP will use the customer generated Admin PW, PID and PPS to bring the systems into
the In-Setup phase.
In the second stage, the customer receives the In-Setup systems and the PID, PPS, and password
information. The PID, PPS, and password information is integrated into the customer Setup and
Configuration Server. The In-Setup systems are then connected to the network and powered on.
Enterprise Mode – AMT Configuration occurs. Some ISV’s may require additional settings, such as the
Setup and Configuration Server port number and IP address. Contact your Management Console ISV
for more details.
During the second stage AMT Configuration, the Setup and Configuration Server will generate a new
PID and PPS combination for each of the systems and delete OEM PID/PPS from the Configuration
Server database.
The OEM TLS-PSK method places the work of AMT setup on the OEM. All the customer needs to do is
plug in the systems and finish the configuration. Once this is done, the system will be in the
operational phase and ready to use.
HP provides a fee-based customized service that will set up AMT Setup systems in the factory and
securely provide pre-shared keys to the customer. HP offers a secured service that will eliminate
manual AMT setup of each unit at the customer site. Please contact HP for more information about
this valuable service.
USB drive key setup and configuration
Password, PID, and PPS information can be set up and configured locally with a USB drive key. This
allows an IT technician to manually set up and configure systems without the problems of manually
typing in entries.
The USB drive key must meet the following requirements for it to be usable in USB Drive Key Setup
and Configuration:
 It must be greater than 16MB in size.
 The sector size must be 1KB.
 The USB drive key is not formatted to boot.
 The Setup.bin file must be the first file landed on the USB drive key.
The following is a typical USB drive key setup and configuration procedure:
1. An IT technician inserts a USB drive key into a system with a management console.
2. The technician request local Setup and Configuration records from a Setup and Configuration
Server through the console.
3. The Setup and Configuration Server will:
a. Generate the appropriate amount of passwords, PID and PPS sets.
b. Store them in its database.
c. Return the information to the management console.
4. The management console writes the password, PID and PPS sets to a Setup.bin file in the USB
drive key.
5. Technician takes the USB drive key to the staging area where new AMT platforms are located.
a. Unpack and connect platforms if necessary.
b. Insert USB Drive Key into a platform.
c. Turn on that platform.
