16.5.4 Resetting with Unconfigure
Note
If the AMT PC still has its factory settings, for example has just been purchased, you can
skip this section.
If you have already configured AMT previously, it is best to discard all the previous AMT
settings made in the MEBx.
NOTICE
All previous settings in the management engine are deleted.
Correct operation in the plant may be at risk.
Note down all the settings in the MEBx. Make the settings again as necessary following
Unconfigure.
To reset the AMT settings, follow these steps:
1. Enable the "Unconfigure ME" entry in "Advanced > Active Management Technology
Support" in the BIOS.
2. Exit the BIOS with the <F10> key "Save and Exit". The AMT PC restarts.
3. After the restart, a user prompt appears asking whether you really want to discard all the
settings in the management engine:
4. Confirm with "Y". On a German keyboard, this means pressing the <Z> key.
The device continues to boot with the factory settings of the management engine.
16.5.5 Obtaining the network address
Introduction
To connect the AMT PC with the AMT server, the network address that uniquely localizes
the AMT server on the AMT PC must be entered.
If DHCP is set for the automatic assignment of the network address in "Network Setup" in
the MEBx of the AMT PC, the network address is not fixed.
Procedure
To check the network address, follow these steps:
1. If the AMT server uses the same network address as the operating system of the AMT
PC (most common situation): You can obtain the address of the AMT server in the
command line in Windows using "ipconfig" and in UNIX using "ifconfig".
2. If the AMT server and operating system do not use the same network address, ask your
network administrator for the address you have been assigned.
