Unprovisioning
Manageability Engine BIOS Extensions (MEBX)¶
Intel® MEBX allows for configuration of the Intel Manageability Engine (ME) platform. Use this interface to provision and unprovision AMT. It also provides a variety of settings to configure manually.
Use the unprovision functionality to remove a device from MPS control.
Unprovision an AMT Device Through MEBX¶
To unprovision in the BIOS:
-
Restart or power on the device.
-
While the device is booting up, press Ctrl+P to reach the MEBX login screen
Note
The keystroke combination Ctrl+P typically invokes the BIOS to display the MEBX login screen. If this does not work, check the manufacturer's instructions or try function keys (e.g., F2, F12).
-
Enter the AMT password.
Note
If it is the first time entering MEBX and the device has not been provisioned previously, the default password is
admin
. Create a new password when prompted. -
Select Intel AMT configuration.
-
Select Unconfigure Network access.
-
Select Full unprovision, and then press y to continue
-
It takes 30 seconds to a minute to unprovision the device. While it is unprovisioning, the up/down arrow keys will not work.
