1.16 Intel Standard Manageability Technology
Intel offers IT organizations tamper-resistant and persistent management capabilities.
Specifically, Intel
Standard Manageability is a hardware-based solution that uses out of
band communication to manage access to client systems in addition to offering
encrypted and persistent asset management and remote diagnostics and/or recovery
capabilities for networked platforms. With Intel manageability, 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 or the power state of the system.
The Intel manageability subsystem consists of:
• ARC4 micro-controller embedded in the Intel B65 PCH
• Intel 82579V Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbits/sec) Ethernet LAN controller
• BIOS/SPI Flash (64 Mbits)
NOTE
Software with manageability capability is required to take advantage of Intel platform
management capabilities.
