AMT Support on the Intel NUC5i3MYHE

[TAmpo1]

Is AMT supported on the Nuc5i3MYHE? Looks like ME 10 firmware is supported on this particular NUC's spec sheet, but it seems the i3-5010U does not support vPro.

I've tried configuring AMT on one of these units without luck, which may not be a surprise given that the processor does not have vPro.

Thanks

If AMT should at least be configurable, then there seems to be some other issue going on as the NUC fails to connect to the Management Engine when I utilize ACUConfig to check the status of the system.

Note, I've tried ME version 11.0.5.1189 and the latest 11.0.6.1194.

This system does not have Intel(R) AMT (or it is disabled in the Intel MEBX, or the correct drivers are not installed or enabled, or the current user does not have permissions to the drivers).

The Nuc5i3MYHE is not vPro enabled, therefore AMT will not work on it. For future reference, you may look up specifications for your processor/NUC (or any Intel Product) by going to ark.intel.com. For this specific processor/NUC, you can use this link:

Thanks @michael_a_intel, I think there was some confusion on my end about how ME and vPro/AMT were linked.

So if I am correct this NUC should fall under Standard Manageability as the board supports Intel ME and the processor does not support vPro. Would that also prevent the ME page from functioning?

Additionally, do the remote power control features (power off/power on) work with just Intel ME, or does that feature require AMT support?

I can make this a separate thread if you'd prefer.

Intel vPro (with Intel AMT) is not supported on non vPro Core i5 or vPro Core i7 processors. Intel Standard Manageability is supported by ISM/AMT desktop chipsets only.

Intel NUCs are based on mobile U processors with mobile chipset integrated in the processor package. Mobile chipsets do not support ISM -even if platform ME FW is corporate FW SKU.

So there is not option to configure Intel AMT neither ISM on Core i3 Mobile processor based systems.
