Perform remote configuration

Install and configure the RCS Manager plug-in to manage the Intel

AMT firmware configuration from

McAfee ePO.

Before you begin

Make sure that the Intel

AMT systems meet the requirements and prerequisites. See

brief information on settings required for a remote configuration. However, see the Intel

Setup and

Configuration Service (Intel

SCS) User Guide for detailed information on these steps and for any

alternative steps.
