CPU upgrade

== Upgrading your Pentium II to a Pentium III ==

Thinkpads dating from around 1999-2000 have MMC2 CPU daughter boards, and so can be upgraded.

The [http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?template=%2Fproductselection%2Flandingpages%2FbrowseByProductLandingPage.vm&sitestyle=lenovo&brandind=10&validate=true hardware maintenance manual] explains in details how to proceed. The catch is that the BIOS cannot activate the L2 cache of a Pentium III. This is solved by using a [http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/~challet/module/module.html kernel module].

The good news is that the memory bus speed goes from 66MHz to 100MHz.

The catch is that the BIOS produces errors of type 127 when booting (press ESC, then F1). This is solved by modifying one byte in the BIOS, using the integrated BIOS editor ([http://www.wimsbios.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4046 this post]).

Be careful when choosing the speed of the new MMC2 daughter board, since there may be problems with voltages/speedstep. 500MHz is a safe choice. Processors with SpeedStep seem to work too but stay at their lowest speed unless one uses physically modifies the daughter board (see the post above).

== Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) ==
Some Lenovo laptop include some of Intel's Management features.
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"
|| Version || Models
|-
|| AMT 2.5 || {{T61}}, {{T61p}}, {{X61_Tablet}}
|}

== Features ==
* Management over the Network (LAN and WLAN, using AMT 2.5)
* Remote Asset (Hardware and Software) Inventory
* Remote Diagnostic and repair (even if laptop is off or down)
* Agent Presence Checking (isolate corrupted laptops)
* Encrypted software update (w/ remote power-on).
* System isolation and recovery (Use hardware to filter inbound and outbound traffic, except management traffic)
* Dedicated Flash memory (Firmware + Inventory + ISV Data)

== Hints how to setup it via Intel ME BIOS Extension (MEBx) based on the T61p (Small business Mode) ==
=== Pre-configuration ===
* Use ThinkVantage System Update so you have the latest BIOS
* Reboot the system

=== Enabling AMT in BIOS ===
* Hit the ThinkVantage button during the POST screen, then after the menu appears hit 'F1'
** Select 'Config' on the main screen
*** Select 'Intel(R) AMT'
**** Set 'Intel(R) AMT Control' to 'Enabled'
**** Hit 'F10' to Save and Exit

=== Configuring Intel ME BIOS Extension for the first time ===
* After the POST screen you will see the Intel ME BIOS Extension screen. Hit Ctrl+P to enter the setup.
* The default password is 'admin' (without quotes)
* If you try to change the Intel ME password and get "Error - Intel(R) ME password change rejected" message, then you are using a weak password. This are guidelines for the Intel ME strong password:
** between 8- and 32-characters long
** Contain both upper and lower case Latin characters
** Have at least one numeric character
** Have at least one ASCII non-alphanumeric character (!, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *)

=== Enabling AMT in Intel Management Engine BIOS Extension ===
* In the main MEBx menu Select Intel(R) ME Configuration
** Select 'Intel(R) ME State Control'
*** Set it ENABLED
*** Select Return to Previous Menu
** Select 'Intel(R) ME Firmware Local Update Qualifier'
*** Set it to ALWAYS OPEN
*** Select Return to Previous Menu
** Select 'Intel(R) ME Features Control'
*** Select 'Manageability Feature Selection'
**** Choose 'Intel(R) AMT'
*** Select Return to Previous menu
** Select 'Intel(R) ME Power Control'
*** Select 'Intel (R) ME ON in Host Sleep States'
**** Set the 'widest' range of Sleep States
**** Hit 'ESC' to Exit. The system will reboot now.

=== Configuring AMT via Intel ME ===
* Hit Ctrl+P when the Intel ME BIOS messages apear
* Select 'Intel(R) AMT Configuration'
** Select 'Host Name' and enter the same name as for the OS Host name
** Select 'TCP/IP'
*** Hit 'N' to enable the Network Interface
*** Hit 'N' to enable DHCP
*** provide your domain name as set (or to be set) in the OS
** Select 'Provision Model'
*** Hit 'N' to not change to AMT 1.0 Mode
*** Hit 'Y; to change to Small Business
** Select 'SOL/IDE-R'
*** Hit 'Y' to confirm the warning
*** Set Username & Password to ENABLED (if it's set to ENABLED don't hit just 'ENTER' because you disable it)
*** Set Serial Over LAN to ENABLED
*** Set IDE Redirection to ENABLED
** Select 'Secure Firmware Update'
*** Set it to ENABLED
** Hit 'ESC' to Exit. The system will reboot again.

=== Configuring the OS ===
* Use ThinkVantage System Update to get the AMT Software
* After update reboot
* After Log-in you should see the message 'Intel(R) Active Management Technology (Intel(R) AMT) status on this computer is enabled.'

=== Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) ===
Some Lenovo laptop include some of Intel's Management features.

=== Features ===
* Management over the Network (LAN and WLAN, using AMT 2.5)
* Remote Asset (Hardware and Software) Inventory
* Remote Diagnostic and repair (even if laptop is off or down)
* Agent Presence Checking (isolate corrupted laptops)
* Encrypted software update (w/ remote power-on).
* System isolation and recovery (Use hardware to filter inbound and outbound traffic, except management traffic)
* Dedicated Flash memory (Firmware + Inventory + ISV Data)
</div>

==Hints how to setup it via Intel ME BIOS Extension (MEBx) based on the T61p==
* Use ThinkVantage System Update so you have the latest BIOS
* You should enable AMT in BIOS (In 'Configuration' on the main screen)
* After the POST screen you will see the Intel ME BIOS Extension screen. Hit Ctrl+P to enter the setup.
* The default password is 'admin' (without quotes)
* If you try to change the Intel ME password and get "Error - Intel(R) ME password change rejected" message, then you are using a weak password. This are guidelines for the Intel ME strong password:
** between 8- and 32-characters long
** Contain both upper and lower case Latin characters
** Have at least one numeric character
** Have at least one ASCII non-alphanumeric character (!, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *)
* Select Intel(R) ME Configuration
** Select 'Intel(R) ME State Control', set it ENABLED, return to previous menu
** Select 'Intel(R) ME Firmware Local Update Qualifier', set it to ALWAYS OPEN, return to previous menu
** Select 'Intel(R) ME Features Control', choose 'Intel(R) AMT', return to previous menu
** Select 'Intel(R) ME Power Control'
*** Select 'Intel (R) ME ON in Host Sleep States' and set the 'widest' range of Sleep States
** Return to previous menu twice and select EXIT. The system will reboot now.
* Hit Ctrl+P when the Intel ME BIOS messages apear
* You will see a new menu entry: 'Intel(R) AMT Configuration'
** Select Host Name and enter the same name as for the OS Host name
** Select TCP/IP, and hit twice 'N' to enable the interface and DHCP, then provide your domain name as set (or to be set) in the OS
** Select SOL/IDE-R, hit 'Y' to confirm the warning, set Username & Password, Serial Over LAN and IDE Redirection to ENABLED
** Select Secure Firmware Update and choose ENABLED
** Exit. The system will reboot again.
