5.2
Active Management Technology (AMT)
AMT (Active Management Technology) is technology for the remote maintenance of
computers (simply called AMT-PC in the remainder of the document) and it includes the
following functions:
Keyboard Video Mouse( KVM) Redirection: Using KVM that is integrated in the AMT
hardware you access the AMT PC remotely. With KVM, you can also control AMT PCs
that have no operating system or a defective operating system. A KVM remote session is
always possible with the KVM server integrated in the firmware. This means you can
restart the PC and change the BIOS setup remotely.
Remote power management: AMT PCs can be turned on and off and restarted from
another PC.
SOL (Serial over LAN): Redirection of the data of a serial interface to the network. The
main use of the function is text-based remote control of an AMT PC using a console.
IDE redirection: An ISO file on the help desk PC can be mounted on the AMT PC and
used as a DVD drive.
An ISO file contains a memory image of the content of a CD or DVD structured in the ISO
9660 format.
Remote reboot: An AMT PC can be booted from a bootable ISO file made available by
another PC.
