Parameterize the change to the different operating states
In Windows you can set parameters for the time interval and the actions for change to a
different operating mode in the power options. Select:
• "Control panel\All control elements\Power options".
Before changing the power options, make a note of the factory settings, if necessary.
Note
Deactivating hibernation or standby mode
By changing the power settings, and by adding extra hardware (such as USB
-components) or
software to the device, you can modify the operating modes so that the device cannot switch
to
hibernation or standby mode. Even though the screen display is dark, relevant
consumers remain switched on in the device.
Operating modes during transportation of the device
Always shut down the device or put it into hibernation before transporting it. You can
recognize these states by the fact that all device status indicators are switched off after
unplugging the power supply unit. This ensures that the device is not switched on during
transport and that the battery is not unduly discharged.

6.4 Intel Active Management Technology
Intel® Active Management Technology is a technology for remote maintenance of computers
(AMT PCs). This remote maintenance encompasses the following functions:
• Remote power management:
AMT PCs can be switched on/off and be restarted from another PC.
• Keyboard–Video–Mouse-Redirection (KVM-Redirection)
Keyboard–Video–Mouse redirection. This enables remote access to the AMT PC, and
operation of AMT PCs without functioning operating system.
• BIOS Setup Management
You can start and change the BIOS Setup remotely.
• Remote reboot:
An AMT PC can be booted from a bootable ISO file made available by another PC.
• SOL (Serial over LAN):
You can redirect data of a serial interface to the network. The function is used primarily for
text-based remote control of an AMT PC in console mode.
• IDE redirection:
An ISO file contains a memory image of the content of a CD or DVD with ISO 9660
structure. An ISO file can be implemented on the AMT PC for use as virtual DVD drive on
the help desk PC.
