secure rmware update
utility. Unique Provisioning
Data can be entered at the
factory or by an
administrator using the
Management Engine (MEBx)
setup utility. The third-party
data store contents can be
populated by a remote
management console or local
applications that have been
registered by an
administrator to have access
to the space.
The Intel chipset is
congured to enforce
hardware protection to
block all direct read-write
access to this area. An
Intel utility must be used
for updating the
rmware. Only rmware
updates digitally signed
by Intel can be applied
using this utility.
