Intel Centrino Pro processor technology is a selectable feature that is available on units configured
with an Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN or 4965AG. It provides advances in remote
manageability, security, energy efficient performance, and wireless connectivity. Intel Active
Management Technology (AMT) offers built-in manageability and proactive security for networked
notebook PCs, even when they are powered off* or when the operating system is inoperable. It
can help identify threats before they reach the operating system, isolate infected systems, and
update PCs regardless of their power state.
*Requires a Windows operating system, network hardware and software, connection with a power
source, and a direct (non-VPN) corporate network connection which is either cable or wireless
LAN.
NOTE:
technology, requires additional 3rd party software in order to run. Availability of future "virtual
appliances" applications for Centrino Pro processor technology is dependant on 3rd party software
providers. Compatibility of this generation of Centrino Pro technology-based hardware with future
"virtual appliances" and Microsoft Windows Vista operating system is to be determined.
