An Intel® AMT system cannot be provisioned using a USB key. The system ignores the USB key and boots to the OS.
Reboot your system and enter the BIOS settings screen.
Enable the setting that controls AMT USB key provisioning.
The location of the setting will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
| Note | Some system manufacturers have implemented BIOS settings that control the USB Key Provisioning option for Intel® AMT. For security reasons, the option is set to Disabled by default. |
