ThinkServer TS200v Intel AMT Configuration Guide

This document provides information about Intel®Active Management Technology

(Intel AMT) for Lenovo®ThinkServer™TS200v servers.

This document is intended for trained IT professionals or those responsible for

configuring servers throughout their organizations.

Introduction to Intel vPro and Intel AMT

Intel vPro is a platform that provides servers with enhanced remote management

capabilities. For servers built with Intel vPro, IT administrators can use third party

software to remotely collect inventory information, diagnose problems, and

provide various services. IT administrators can also isolate individual servers and

protect the network from threats.

As a feature of Intel vPro, Intel AMT is designed to provide remote management

of servers regardless of the server power state or the operating system state as long

as the servers are connected to an electrical outlet and a network.

Lenovo ThinkServer TS200v servers built with Intel AMT enable IT administrators

to better discover, heal, and protect the networked servers.

vDiscover: Intel AMT stores hardware and software information in nonvolatile

memory (NVM). With built-in manageability, Intel AMT enables IT

administrators to discover servers remotely, even when servers are turned off.

vHeal: The built-in manageability of Intel AMT provides out-of-band (OOB)

management capabilities, which enable IT administrators to remotely diagnose

server problems and recover servers even if the operating systems are

inoperable. Proactive alerting and event logging help IT administrators detect

problems quickly to reduce server downtime.

vProtect: The Intel AMT system defense feature enables better protection for

servers by proactively blocking incoming threats and controlling infected servers

before the servers cause network problems.

The following table shows the features and benefits of Intel AMT.

Intel AMT setup and configuration

The Intel Management Engine (ME) is an isolated and protected computing

resource that runs on an Intel AMT server. The Intel Management Engine BIOS

Extension (MEBx) provides a user interface to change or configure settings that

control the operation of the Intel Management Engine (ME).

Note: All changes to Intel ME platform configuration settings are not cached in the

MEBx, but committed to the ME nonvolatile memory until you exit the Intel

MEBx. If the Intel MEBx crashes in the process of the configuration, the

changes that you have made will not be saved.

Intel MEBx setup and configuration

This section provides instructions on how to set up and configure the Intel MEBx

for your server.

To set up and configure the Intel MEBx for your server, do the following:

1. Access the Intel MEBx by performing one of the following:

vTurn on your server and press Ctrl+P when you see the Intel Management

Engine BIOS Extension window. When prompted, press 1 to enter the Intel

MEBx MAIN MENU window.

vTurn on your server and press Enter during power-on self-test (POST). When

the Startup Interrupt Menu opens, press Ctrl+P. When prompted, press 1 to

enter the Intel MEBx MAIN MENU window.

2. When prompted, type the Intel ME default password admin and press Enter.

You will be prompted to type a new password.

3. Type your new password and press Enter. When prompted to confirm the new

password, type your new password again.

Note: For security reasons, it is recommended to use a strong password that

cannot be easily compromised. To set a strong password, use the

following guidelines:

vHave eight to 32 characters in length

vContain at least one alphabetic character, one numeric character, and

one symbol (!@#$%^&*andsoon)

vContain at least one upper case letter and one lower case letter

4. In the Intel MEBx MAIN MENU window, select Intel(R) ME General Settings

→Activate Network Access. Press Y when prompted to activate the current

network settings.

5. Select Intel(R) ME General Settings →Network Setup. The INTEL(R)

NETWORK SETUP window opens. You can configure the host name and IP

address from the Intel(R) ME Network Name Settings menu and TCP/IP

Settings menu.

vIt is recommended that you set the host name of your Intel AMT server to

the same as that of your operating system.

vIf you want to set a static IP address for your Intel AMT server, select

TCP/IP Settings →Wired LAN IPV4 Configuration →DHCP Mode. Select

DISABLED to disable DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) mode.

Then, you can set other network settings, such as the IP address, subnet

mask address, and so on.

6. Press the Esc key three times to return to the Intel MEBx MAIN MENU

window. In the Intel MEBx MAIN MENU window, select Intel(R) AMT

2ThinkServer TS200v Intel AMT Configuration Guide

Configuration and press Enter. A message will be displayed indicating that you

can update network settings from the Intel(R) ME General Settings menu.

Press Enter and the INTEL(R) AMT CONFIGURATION window opens.

7. Select SOL/IDER →Legacy Redirection Mode. Select ENABLED and press

Enter. Use default settings for the other options.

8. Select KVM Configuration in the INTEL(R) AMT CONFIGURATION window

and press Enter. The KVM Configuration window opens. Select User Opt-in →

User Consent is not required for KVM Session.

9. Press the Esc key two times to return to the Intel MEBx MAIN MENU window.

Select Exit in the Intel MEBx MAIN MENU window to exit the Intel MEBx.

Press Y when prompted to confirm the exit.

Intel AMT Web user interface

Intel AMT provides a Web user interface, which enables you to perform some basic

management functions, such as power controlling and asset inventory. The access

to the Web user interface is automatically enabled after you complete the Intel

AMT setup and configuration on your server.

Accessing the Web user interface

This section provides instructions on how to access the Intel AMT Web user

interface.

To access the Intel AMT Web user interface, do the following:

1. Open a Web browser on your server and type the IP address of your server in

the address box:

http://IP_Address:16992 (for example, http://192.168.1.13:16992)

2. Click Log On in the Intel®Active Management Technology window.

3. When prompted, type your user name and password, and then click OK.You

will go to the Intel AMT Web user interface.

Note: The default user name is admin.

Functions in the Web user interface

The Web user interface enables you to perform the following tasks:

vView the system status

vView the hardware information of your Intel AMT enabled server, including

system, microprocessor, memory module, and hard disk drive

vView, start, stop, and clear event logs

vRemote power control, including: turn the server off, cycle power off and on,

reset, normal startup, start the server from a local optical drive or hard disk

drive

vView and manage Intel AMT power policies
