USB Setup and Configuration
The default console package provided is the Dell™ Client Management (DCM) application. This section provides the procedure
to set up and configure Intel® AMT with the DCM package. As mentioned earlier in the document, several other packages are
available through third-party vendors.
The computer must be configured and seen by the DNS server before you begin this process. Also, a USB storage device is
required and must conform to the requirements listed on the "Using a USB Device" page.
The nature of management software is that it is not always dynamic or real time. In fact, sometimes if you tell a computer to
do something, such as to reboot, you may just have to do it again and it will work.
Format a USB device with the FAT16 file system and no volume label and then set it aside.
Open the Altiris® Dell Client Manager application by double clicking the desktop icon or through the Start menu.
Select AMT Quick Start from the left navigation menu to open the Altiris Console.
