Hi All,

 

Have this issue where we start up the PC and it shows management platform in manufacturing mode.

And it auto shuts down after a period of time.

Have create a discussion before but was not solved.

Please advise if there's any other steps to take. Thanks.

does it shutdown after aprox 30 min?

 

if so you have corrupted ME firmware and you can try reflashing the CORRECT Me firmware

Hi DGroves,

 

Thanks for the reply. It did shutdown aprox 30 min.

What's ME Firmware?

I did update the bios but it didn't work though.

 

Thanks.

sorry, but i'm not a substitute for you taking the time to do simple web searches..............

 

What's ME Firmware?    (Google, or any search engine  is your friend)

 

how do i download and install "ME" firmware?..., go to the maker of your system, then go to the drivers section and look at all the posted drivers

 

"ME" firmware and AMT software are related, so read/download  both files from the HP site

 

HP takes the time to include READ ME and InstallDOC files in each extracted SPxxxx file,......

Hi DGrovves,

 

I'm not asking because i'm lazy to find out what is ME Firmware.

I have tried finding ME Firmware in the HP website for support driver for Z200 Workstation.

Search through the firmware section and there's no ME Firmware nor AMT software.

Googled it and it just tells me the ME Firmware is provided by Intel to support Active Management Technology (AMT)

Which doesn't even help at all. If it did i wouldn't have asked.

 

If ME  Firmware is the same as the Intel Management Engine Firmware Update and Utilities, i have already tried updating the firmware to no avail.

 

Thanks.

HP Recommended

yes, Intel Management Engine  is also called "ME"

 

you have not really confirmed if the system shuts down every 30 min

 

it it does power off every 30 min you do have corrupted ME firmware

 

create a account on win-raid and go to the "ME" section, and post your problem there

Hi DGroves,

 

Yeah it does power off but i didn't really count the time for it when it power off.

Thats why when you say aprox 30min i just agreed.

 

Will create an account to ask on win-raid and will post the results here.

Thanks.

Hi DGroves,

 

Seems like it's my workstation issue.

Tried the steps that win-raid have given.

Can't seem to solve it.

 

Here's the link if you wanna see the steps/chat.
