Intel AMT overview
The onboard Intel 82573E Ethernet controller has built-in support for
Intel AMT. This technology enables system administrators to monitor
and protect their networked computing assets, even in situations
where the client system is ordinarily inaccessible (such as a crashed
hard drive or a locked operating system), reducing network downtime.
Intel AMT features
Out-of-band (OOB) system access for remote PC management
regardless of system power or OS state
Proactive alerting for faster problem detection and less network
downtime
Remote troubleshooting and recovery for increased IT efficiency
with fewer deskside visits
Remote hardware asset tracking for increased speed and accuracy
with reduced accounting costs, compared to manual tracking
Intel AMT functions
System administrators can use a web browser

View, enable/disable, and clean the Intel AMT event log
Remotely power the computer on or off (when enabled in the
client system BIOS)
View and manage Intel AMT network parameters
