# Intel® Active Management Technology

Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) is a hardware-based solution that uses out-of-band communication for management access to networked client computers. Even when the client computer is powered down or has a non-operational OS, Intel AMT enables you to access and manage the system over the network. You can easily get accurate platform information, and can perform remote updating, diagnostics, debugging, and repair of a system, regardless of the state of the OS and the power state of the system. For example, if an OS has failed, you can establish a remote-control session to the failed system and then remotely reboot the failed system to a known good OS image on a remote drive. After the system reboots, you can remotely manage the reinstallation of the OS or repair.

For more information on Intel AMT features, see the documentation that came with your system.

| NOTE: Intel Active Management Technology drivers are installed as part of the base driver installation on Intel AMT capable systems.
