Configuration Service
This section discusses Intel® AMT setup and configuration using a USB storage device. You can set up and locally configure
password, provisioning ID (PID), and provisioning passphrase (PPS) information with a USB drive key. This is also called USB
provisioning. USB provisioning allows you to manually set up and configure computers without the problems associated with
manually typing in entries.
USB provisioning only works if the MEBx password is set to the factory default of admin. If the password has been changed,
reset it to the factory default by clearing the CMOS.
The following is a typical USB drive key setup and configuration procedure. For a detailed walk-through using Altiris® Dell™
Client Manager (DCM), refer to the USB device procedure page.
1. An IT technician inserts a USB drive key into a computer with a management console.
2. The technician requests local setup and configuration records from a setup and configuration server (SCS) through the
console.
3. The SCS does the following:
1. Generates the appropriate passwords, PID, and PPS sets
2. Stores this information in its database
3. Returns the information to the management console
4. The management console writes the password, PID, and PPS sets to a setup.bin file in the USB drive key.
5. The technician takes the USB drive key to the staging area where new Intel AMT capable computers are located. The
technician then does the following:
1. Unpacks and connects computers, if necessary
2. Inserts the USB drive key into a computer
3. Turns on that computer
6. The computer BIOS detects the USB drive key.
If found, the BIOS looks for a setup.bin file at the beginning of the drive key. Go to step 7.
If no USB drive key or setup.bin file is found, then restart the computer. Ignore the remaining steps.
7. The computer BIOS displays a message that automatic setup and configuration will occur.
1. The first available record in the setup.bin file is read into memory. The process accomplishes the following:
Validates the file header record
Locates the next available record
If the procedure is successful, the current record is invalidated so it cannot be used again
2. The process places the memory address into the MEBx parameter block.
3. The process calls MEBx.
8. MEBx processes the record.
9. MEBx writes a completion message to the display.
10. The IT technician turns off the computer. The computer is now in the setup state and is ready to be distributed to
users in an Enterprise mode environment.
11. Repeat step 5 if you have more than one computer.
Refer to the management console supplier for more information on USB drive key setup and configuration.
USB Drive Key Requirements
The USB drive key must meet the following requirements to be able to set up and configure Intel AMT:
It must be greater than 16 MB.
It must be formatted with the FAT16 file system.
The sector size must be 1 KB.
The USB drive key is not bootable.
The setup.bin file must be the first file landed on the USB drive key. The USB key must not contain any other files
whether hidden, deleted, or otherwise.
