Provisioning)
• Full Unprovision
• Partial Unprovision
The option allows the IT-admin to reset Intel® AMT
configuration to factory defaults. There are three types of un-
provision:
Full Un-provision: This option resets all AMT settings to their
default values. If a PID/PPS value is present, both values will
be lost. The MEBX password will remain untouched.
Partial Un-provision: This option resets all the Intel® AMT
settings to their default values, but will not change the
PID/PPS, the Intel MEBx password, or the customized hash
certificates.
CMOS clear: This un-provision option is NOT available in the
MEBX. This option will clear all values to their default values. If
a PID/PPS is present, both values will be lost. The MEBX
password will be reset to the default value (admin). To invoke
this option, the user needs to clear the CMOS (ex. remove the
coin battery).
