Intel offers IT organizations tamper-resistant and persistent management capabilities.
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

MEBX Reset Header
This header (see Figure 3) allows you to reset the Intel ME configuration to 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).
