Intel® vPro™ and Intel® Centrino® Pro Processor Technology Quick Start Guide

Preface

This document provides the high level steps required to deploy desktop and notebook PCs with Intel®
vPro™ technology. It does not provide step-by-step procedures for completing those high level steps,
but instead provides links to more detailed information where such step-by-step procedures may be
found.

Note: Hewlett Packard* Out of Band Management (HP OOBM) software only supports Intel vPro
Enterprise mode provisioning. HP OOBM supports both the standard and advanced modes of Enterprise
mode provisioning. To get users started quickly, this guide will focus on Ent erprise standard mode only.
For the TLS advanced configuration, please refer to the HP OOBM manual.

Intended Audience

This Quick Start Guide is intended for Information Technology (IT) prof essionals, system integrators,
and other technical specialists with experience deploying computer systems and networking
technologies in an Information Technology environment. It is not intended for general audiences.

Process Overview

Intel® Active Management Technology1 (Intel® AMT) provides significant flexibility in order to meet the
needs of various customer environments. This flexibility requires that customers make a number of
decisions when planning and implementing their deployment of Intel AMT enabled systems.

The overall deployment process is shown below:

• Install or validate infrastructure component s (D NS, DHCP, SQL Server, etc.).

• Ensure required Windows* drivers (for SOL and IDE-R) are installed on Intel vPro clients.

• Install Intel

• Intel SCS and Intel vPro Setup: provides steps for setting up and configuring the SCS

Provisioning Server and the Intel vPro device.

• OOB Management Console Installation: specifies system requirements and tells you how to
install, configure, and start the OOB Management Console.

• Configure your management console to manage Intel vPro clients.

• Discover Intel vPro clients in your management console.

• Test Intel vPro client management functionality in your management console.

SCS and HP OOBM software.

• Perform post configuration steps (IT support process changes, maintenance procedures, etc.).

1. Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) is a hardware-based technology that facilitates remote out-o f-band
management of computers by use of a small secondary processor located on the motherboard.

This out of band (OOB) controller has embedded firmware that runs on the Intel® Management Engine (Intel® ME), a separate
small ARC architecture processor built into either the North Bridge or NIC of the motherboard. The Intel AMT firmware is stored in
the same SPI flash memory component used to store the BIOS and is generally updated along with the BIOS.
