NOTICE
As long as no modules are plugged into slots 1, 2, 3, IRQs 17, 18, 19 are not used by the
PCIe switch, the display only shows that these IRQs would be used if modules were
plugged in.
The PCIe switch is displayed in Windows Device Management as "PCI standard PCI-to-
PCI bridge".
16.3.4 Exclusive PCI hardware interrupt
Applications demanding high-performance interrupt handling require high-speed hardware
interrupt reaction. The PCI hardware interrupt should only be used by one resource in order
to ensure high-speed reaction of the hardware.
Setting up an exclusive interrupt on the device (only APIC mode)
An exclusive interrupt can only be set for PCI Slot 5 or 8 and Slot 6 or 9. Further exclusive
interrupts for use at the slots are not available.
Assigning exclusive interrupts in BIOS Setup (PIC mode only)
The interrupts are automatically assigned to the slots at system startup due to the default
settings in system BIOS.
Several slots may share the same interrupt, depending on the system configuration. This
functionality is known as interrupt sharing. Exclusive interrupts are not available in PIC
mode. Disable specific system resources in order to obtain exclusive interrupts. The resulting
free interrupt is then assigned to the slots. The lower free IRQ is assigned to the lower Slot
No.
If a conflict arises through the assignment, a message will be displayed and has to be
acknowledged.
Message: "Resources Conflict. Please re-select [ok]"
The interface that causes the conflict is disabled automatically. Additional information is
available in the section Interrupt assignments (Page 167).
Example:
If you want to use "IRQ 3" for a slot, you have to disable the "Internal COM 2" by using
Advanced > Peripheral Configuration. IRQ 3 is then assigned automatically to the slot that
has the lowest slot number.

PCI / PCIe cards and the on-board PCI / PCIe devices require PCI interrupt channels. These
interrupt channels can be shared and are plug-and-play compatible, that is, several devices
can share the same interrupt. The IRQ is assigned automatically.
PCI interrupt channels must be derived from the PIC interrupt pool, that is PCI modules also
use PIC resources. These IRQ channels are assigned automatically.
The Host PCI IRQ channels A to H are permanently assigned in APIC mode. These default
settings cannot be modified.
The Host PCI IRQ channels A to H in PIC mode are assigned automatically in BIOS. The
assignment can be changed by disabling functions. Resulting free IRQs are assigned to the
slots.

From a SIMATIC IPC which does not have Intel AMT functions, you can access networked
SIMATIC IPCs with Intel AMT using the SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager and/or a web
browser.
SIMATIC IPCs that support AMT feature two onboard Ethernet interfaces, each with a
separate controller. You can configure the controller integrated in the chipset for use with
Intel AMT. Further details about the controller can be found in the technical specification.
For security reasons, AMT is disabled when you receive a SIMATIC IPC. Enable AMT in the
BIOS setup. Afterwards the IntelĀ® Management Engine (IntelĀ® ME) has to be activated and
set for AMT. You make additional settings in the Management Engine:
ā Configuring the network for access via AMT
ā Creating a password
This section describes the required measures and settings on the local IPC so that the IPC
can be controlled and maintained remotely from a management station known below as the
help desk PC.
The local IPC is known below as the "AMT PC".
The sections contain the following information:
ā AMT settings in the MEBx and in the BIOS setup
ā Basic configuration of AMT
ā Further useful notes

16.6.2 Enabling AMT, basic configuration
Procedure
For security reasons, AMT is not enabled on new devices.
To enable AMT, follow these steps:
1. Connect the AMT PC with the LAN.
2. If necessary, first reset AMT to the default status (see section "Unconfigure").
3. To access the BIOS, press the <F2> key while the device is booting.
4. In the Advanced menu, enable "Intel AMT Support", and "Intel AMT Setup Prompt".
5. Exit the BIOS with the <F10> key "Save and Exit". The AMT PC restarts.
6. To access the MEBx, press the <Ctrl+P> keyboard shortcut
7. In the login dialog, enter the standard password "admin".
8. Change the default password. The new password must include the following characters:
ā In total at least eight characters
ā One upper case letter
ā One lower case letter
ā One number
ā One of the special characters ! @ # $ % ^ & * @ # $ % ^ & *
Note
The underscore _ and the space characters are valid password characters, however
they do not increase password complexity.
9. Enable "Intel (R) AMT Configuration > Manageability Feature Selection".
10. Enable "Intel (R) ME General Settings > Activate Network Access".

16.6.3 Advanced settings
The BIOS and the MEBx contain the most important basic settings for AMT. Additional tools
are necessary if you want to make more advanced settings. If required, these must be
downloaded from the relevant manufacturer's site. For information on the options and use of
these tools, refer to the relevant documentation of the manufacturer.
ā Manageability Commander and other tools of the Intel DTK (Manageability Developer
Tool Kit): Programs from the Intel DTK that you can download from the Internet at
"http://software.intel.com/en-us/manageability".
ā AMT Web interface: For encrypted connections, the URL of the Web interface is "https://
<Fully qualified domain name>:16993" and for unencrypted connections "http://<IP
address>:16992".
ā WinRM: A command line program that is part of Windows as of Windows Vista. This tool
can be downloaded for older Windows versions.
16.6.4 Resetting with Un-configure
Note
If the AMT PC still has its factory settings, for example has just been purchased, you can
skip this section.
If you have already configured AMT previously, it is best to discard all the previous AMT
settings made in the MEBx.
NOTICE
All previous settings in the management engine are deleted.
Correct operation in the plant may be at risk.
Note down all the settings in the MEBx. Make the settings again as necessary following
Unconfigure.
To reset the AMT settings, follow these steps:
1. Enable the "Un-configure ME" entry in "Advanced > Active Management Technology
Support" in the BIOS.
2. Exit the BIOS with the <F10> key "Save and Exit". The AMT PC restarts.
3. After the restart, a user prompt appears asking whether you really want to discard all the
settings in the management engine:
4. Confirm with "Y". On a German keyboard, this means pressing the <Z> key.
The device continues to boot with the factory settings of the management engine.

Operating Instructions, 06/2011, A5E02669184-03 199
16.6.5 Determining the network address
To connect the AMT PC with the AMT server, the network address that uniquely localizes
the AMT server on the AMT PC must be entered.
If DHCP is set for the automatic assignment of the network address in "Network Setup" in
the MEBx of the AMT PC, the network address is not fixed.
Procedure
If the AMT server uses the same network address as the operating system of the AMT PC
(most common situation):
1. You can obtain the address of the AMT server in the command line in Windows using
"ipconfig" and in UNIX using "ifconfig".
If the AMT server and operating system do not use the same network address, ask your
network administrator for the address you have been assigned.
16.6.6 Forcing user consent
When establishing a connection to the AMT PC, the KVM viewer may prompt the user to
enter a six-figure code. This code is displayed on the screen of the AMT PC. The user of the
AMT PC must inform the user of the KVM viewer of this code.
Procedure
To set up this code query on the KVM viewer, follow these steps:
1. Select "Intel(R) AMT Configuration > User Consent" in the MEBx.
2. Select the value "KVM" for "User Consent".
To allow a user with administrator privileges to avoid this code query, follow these steps:
1. Select "Intel(R) AMT Configuration > User Consent" in the MEBx.
2. Enable "Opt-in configurable from remote IT".

ESD directive B
Meaning
An electronic module is equipped with highly integrated electronic components. Due to their
design, electronic components are highly sensitive to overvoltage and thus to the discharge
of static electricity. Such electronic components are labeled as electrostatic sensitive devices
(ESD).
The following abbreviations are commonly used for electrostatic sensitive devices:
ā ESD ā Electrostatic Sensitive Device
ā ESD ā Electrostatic Sensitive Device (internationally recognized term)
Electrostatic charge
CAUTION
Electrostatic charge
ESDs may be destroyed by voltages far below the level perceived by human beings. If you
are not discharged electrostatically, the voltage that you transfer when touching a
component or the contact points of a module can already cause damage.
The damage to an ESD caused by overvoltage is usually not recognized immediately. The
damage only becomes apparent after a long period of operation.
Discharge any electrostatic charge of your body before you touch the ESD.
Anyone who is not connected conductively to their surroundings is subject to electrostatic
charge.
The following diagram shows the maximum voltage values to which a person can be
charged electrostatically. The values depend on the material and humidity. The shown
values are in conformity with the specifications of EN 61000-4-2.

Protective measures against discharge of static electricity
CAUTION
Grounding measures
There is no equipotential bonding without grounding. An electrostatic charge is not
discharged and may damage the ESD.
When working with electrostatic sensitive devices, make sure that the person and the
workplace are properly grounded.
Note the following:
ā Only touch the ESD if it is absolutely necessary.
ā When you touch ESD modules, avoid touching the pins or the PCB tracks.
This precaution reduces the risk of damaging an ESD.
ā Discharge electrostatic electricity from your body if you are performing measurements on
an ESD.
To do so, touch a grounded metal object before you carry out the measurement.
ā Always use grounded measuring instruments.
