BIOS Prerequisite
This whitepaper is for the HP Compaq 8100 Business PCs. The HP Compaq 8100
Business PC uses the 786H1 BIOS family.
For best performance and to take advantage of AMT 6.0 features, make sure the
HP Compaq 8100 Business PCs have a BIOS revision of at least version 1.02, a ME
FW of at least version 6.0.3.1195, and a MEBx of at least version 6.0.3.0019.
The system BIOS and the ME FW must be updated individually. Refer to the BIOS
Flash Whitepaper at
www.hp.com for more information on flashing the system
BIOS and ME FW.
Manual Mode (SMB Mode) – AMT Setup and Configuration
Steps:
When going through the options in the MEBx for the first time (Factory phase), the
default settings are in place. This whitepaper details HP recommended settings on
options, some of which may be the same as the default selection. Even though the
default setting is set and used for certain options, it is good practice to double
check important options.
1. Hit Ctrl-P during POST to enter Management Engine BIOS Extension (MEBx)
