Active Management Technology
NOTE: iAMT is available for Dell™ Latitude™ D630c computers with iAMT capability only.
Intel Active Management Technology (iAMT), part of Intel Centrino
®
Pro Technology, is intended
to deliver more secure systems management capabilities that reduce IT costs, and allows better
discovery, healing, and protection of networked computing assets. With iAMT, PCs can be
managed whether the computer is turned on or off, or the operating system is not responding.
NOTE: iAMT can be configured using Dell Client Manager (DCM) 2.1. For complete information about
how to configure iAMT, see the Dell Client Manager 2.1 documentation at dell.com\openmanage. For
more information about Dell's iAMT implementation, see the Systems Management Administrator's
Guide at support.dell.com.
Key benefits of iAMT are:
• Reduced desk-side visits
• Automation of more management functionality through enablement of systems management
console software
• Improved security

• Ability to turn on and off the computer remotely regardless of the state of the operating
system.
Advanced Functionality
NOTE: Additional management software is required for the following features.
• Ability to do remote issues remediation (1-to-1) through text-based console redirection
(serial-over-LAN) and IDE redirection
• Hardened security through agent presence (enables detection of removed agents) and
network access control (circuit breaker) and software version control
