Thanks for the prompt and comprehensive replies, spec. screenshot is very informative :+1:

Just to clarify, with Optiplex 5060 non-KVM AMT is possible, but KVM AMT is not possible because of the type of integrated nic?

Can a KVM AMT compatible nic be installed into a spare PCIe slot?

I donā€™t read the specsheet this way. Non-KVM AMT is normally called ā€œStandard manageabilityā€ and itā€™s not checked.

I donā€™t think adding a i219LM PCIe card would help here, itā€™s not just the PCIe connection. See chapter 19.7.3 in IntelĀ® 300 Series and IntelĀ® C240 Series Chipset Family Platform Controller Hub Datasheet ā€“ Volume 1 of 2
