Park N Patch Use case

Posted by Josh Hilliker on Dec 16, 2008 12:27:24 AM

Over the last few weeks I have been twittering about a new use case that Frank & I have coined "Park N Patch" use case. We have finished our hardware test and we are really close to shooting the video, however I wanted to jump start this by sharing out the single foil (thank you to wendy west for the pix).

Next up, we'll share out the technical specifications of our test and the video of us really doing the use case outside (pending rain).

 

any questions please let me know.

Josh,

 

Perhaps you could clarify this for me. I was under the impression that the Management Engine was disabled while laptops were on battery power. I thought that this was a design decision made by the vPro team, in order to preserve battery life on mobile clients. Am I remembering incorrectly?

 

Thanks,

 

Trevor

Hi Trevor.

 

Correct, the MEBx is off in battery power Off state. What we will show during the video is tha twe are putting an inline battery device that looks like the computer is indeed plugged in, however it is not. Therefore you get a few extra hours to wake up & patch it before it goes in full off state. I'll explain more in my next post.
