Figure 4 Management Controller in the HP Compaq dc7900 Business PC
The current Management Mode: F10 Setup > File > System Information.
The HP Compaq dc7900 Business PC is an Intel Q45-based system which has an integrated Manage-
ment Engine (ME) within the GMCH for management control.
The ME firmware version is displayed in the F10 Setup System Information page right above the Manage-
ment Mode. The placement of the ME firmware version and the Management Mode is in close proximity,
but there is no correlation between the two lines.
The following chart shows the correlation between the Management Controller and Management Mode
for the HP Compaq dc7900.
In the case of ASF, both management controllers can be in this mode. However, only one of them will
actually be in control.
