All dc7900 Series models featuring this technology include processors which are

part of the Intel 2008 Stable Image Platform Program (SIPP) designed to ensure the

stability promise inherent in the value proposition of the HP Compaq dc7900

Series business desktop, thus making these model the most stable, secure, and

manageable platforms available to enterprises today.

The 2008 SIPP processors are:

Core 2 Duo E8400, E8500, E8600

Core 2 Quad Q9400, Q9550, Q9650

Intel's Core 2 Processor with vPro Technology suite of features includes:

Intel Active Management Technology

an advanced set of remote management features and functionality which

provides network administrators the latest and most effective tools to remotely

discover, heal, and protect networked client systems regardless of the

system's health or power state. Intel Active Management Technology

includes all features described as part of Intel Standard Manageability plus

the following advanced management functions:

Fast Call for Help

– a client inside or outside the firewall may initiate

a call for help via BIOS screen, periodic connections, or alert

triggered connection

Remote Scheduled Maintenance

– pre-schedule when the PC

connects to the IT or service provider console for maintenance.

Remote PCs can get required patches, be inventoried, etc by

connecting to their IT console or Service Provider when it's convenient

Remote Alerts

– automatically alert IT or service provider if issues arise

Access Monitor

– Provides oversight into Intel® AMT actions to

support security requirements

Microsoft NAP Support

Allows Intel Active Management Technology to gain access to a Microsoft

NAP enabled 802.1x network OOB to enable OOB SW updates,

inventories, remote diagnostics, etc. NAP is a new platform and solution that

controls access to network resources based on a client computer's identity

and compliance with corporate governance policy. NAP allows network

administrators to define granular levels of network access based on who a

client is, the groups to which the client belongs, and the degree to which

that client is compliant with corporate governance policy. If a client is not

compliant, NAP provides a mechanism to automatically bring the client back

into compliance and then dynamically increase its level of network access.

When a client attempts to access the network or communicate on the

network, it must present its system health state or proof of health compliance.
