Out-of-Band Management
Out-of-Band term refers to the ability to manage the computer in the absence of an operating
system or with the operating system in an unusable state, or with the computer turned off. The
only requirement for managing such a computer is the iAMT capability as well as computer being
connected to the network and to an electrical outlet.
NOTE: Power is supplied to the DIMMs even when the computer is turned off.
