Title: P55-UD3R and i7 860 - intel vPro help!
Post by: benzebut on November 09, 2011, 08:14:59 pm

Hi,

Hope any of you can help me on this one...

I want to enable and configure the intel vPro feature of my CPU (intel i7 860) with gigabyte's motherboard P55-UD3R updated to latest bios.

I'm on Win7 x64, i have downloaded intel SCS 7.1 and tried to configure the AMT but it doesn't seem to work at all.

Ran the SCS Discovery and logs says: "System Discovery finished with warnings: System Discovery failed to get data from some of the interfaces on this system. . ( Failed to get data from the MEI interface (This system does not have Intel(R) AMT (or it is disabled in the MEBx, or the correct drivers are not installed"

google failed me...can't see why i'm having a problem - it looks so easy...

Thx for helping

Hello, greetings, Benzebut, welcome to forum.  ;)

Have you seen this kind of more specialized site?

http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-the-latest-version-of-intel-amt-setup-and-configuration-service-scs/

http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-vpro-software-development/

I think it is a very pointed topic.  :P

Otherwise how do you think the motherboard is concerned? His bios, his physical chips?

Hi good sir,

I think its a limitation of the motherboard's chipset.
The P55 doesn't seem to be made for vPro support.

I might be wrong, i'm asking for a confirmation or something before I'm dumping the idea.

it seems that your processor supports vPro technology.

First generation:

http://ark.intel.com/products/41316/Intel-Core-i7-860-Processor-% 288m-Cache-2_80-GHz 29%

http://ark.intel.com/products/53476/Intel-Core-i7-2860QMProcessor-% 288m-Cache-2_50-GHz 29%

Second generation:
http://ark.intel.com/products/53476/Intel-Core-i7-2860QMProcessor-% 288m-Cache-2_50-GHz 29%

But according to this document is not always the case:

Seems only Q57 and Q67 motherboard's chipset supports vPro.
Thx
