    While the mainboard brand is not important, it does need to have a vPro capable chipset.

    E.g. Q67, Q77

    + a vPRO enabled processor.
    i5 and i7 generally works, but not i3

    See the Intel list: http://ark.intel.com/search/advanced...echnology=true


    3. Do i need to install any software to client computer .
    4. Can it control power OFF/ON.
    5. Can we use virtual media.
    Power control can be done through a webinterface.

    KVM and virtual media is supported but additional software is necessary (they do NOT provide a Java applet for it)

    Can buy standard software from RealVNC or us (NOC-PS) for that, or develop your own.
    Protocol used for KVM is standard VNC, but it requires some extra calls to actually activate the VNC interface.

    How do I connect to the vPro system remotely? If the IP on my system with 4770 and Gigabyte Z87 is 192.168.1.101 do I connect to it using realVNC to this IP?

    Both the CPU and chipset need vPro support.


    If you have a vPro capable board you have an entry in the BIOS for it, where you can configure the IP you want.
    vPRO (unlike IPMI) does allow you to share the same IP with the main system if you want that, but you do need to configure that.

    Thanks Maxnet. I didnt realize that the chipset also need vPro. I will try to find a reasonable motherboard with vPro support. I love the option of using regualar hardware and being able to manage it remotely. All my non-prod environment management cost can be lowered and I can have happy developers with faster systems.

    Is there a similar feature for AMD processors? I observe a lot of different options listed on AMD desktop processors but none seem to be usable. Has anyone tried using remote management on AMD? I have a AMD 8320 with Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5.
