HP EliteBook 8540w Overview

Chipset Mobile Intel QM57 Express Chipset
Intel Core i5 with
vPro/Core i7 with vPro
technology capable
Intel Core i5 with vPro and Core i7 with vPro technology is a selectable feature that is available on units
configured with an Intel Centrino® Ultimate-N 6000 series WLAN module and a preinstalled Windows
operating system. It provides advances in remote manageability, security, energy efficient performance,
and wireless connectivity. Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) offers built-in manageability and
proactive security for networked notebook PCs, even when they are powered off* or when the operating
system is inoperable. It can help identify threats before they reach the network, isolate infected systems,
and update PCs regardless of their power state.
*Requires a Windows operating system, network hardware and software, connection with a power source,
and a direct (non-VPN) corporate network connection which is either cable or wireless LAN.
NOTE: Some functionality of Intel Core i5 with vPro/Core i7 with vPro technology, such as Intel Active
Management technology and Intel Virtualization technology, requires additional 3rd party software in
order to run. Availability of future "virtual appliances" applications for Intel Core i5 with vPro/Core i7 with
vPro technology is dependent on 3rd party software providers. Compatibility with future "virtual
appliances" is yet to be determined.
