Intel Manageability Technology
Intel offers IT organizations tamper-resistant and persistent management capabilities.
Intel Standard Manageability is a hardware-based solution that uses out of band
communication to manage access to client systems in addition to offering encrypted
and persistent asset management and remote diagnostics and/or recovery capabilities
for networked platforms. With Intel manageability, IT organizations can easily get
accurate platform information, and can perform remote updating, diagnostics,
debugging and repair of a system, regardless of the state of the operating system or
the power state of the system.
The Intel manageability subsystem consists of:
• Intel Management Engine (Intel ME) microcontroller embedded in the Intel B65
PCH
• BIOS/SPI Flash
• Intel

MEBX Reset Header
This header (see Figure 3) allows you to reset the Intel AMT configuration to the
factory defaults. Momentarily shorting pins 1 and 2 with a jumper (not supplied) will
accomplish the following:
• Return all Intel ME parameters to their default values.
• Delete any user entered information, including PID/PPS and user entered Hash
Certificates. USB key and remote configuration data will be removed if the
parameters are not default parameters.
• Reset the Intel MEBX password to the default value (admin).
