I have 2 Optiplex 7040 Micro which serve me as workers in a Proxmox cluster. Both came with AMT disabled, and I followed the procedure outline here imgurDOTcom/gallery/Mh9Jz to re-enable it with success, after which i updated the bios, and everything worked great. I bought a 3rd 7040 used system which was a bit customized (Owner and asset tag), removed them, and then (maybe stupidly?) updated the bios. Then i proceeded with AMT enablement, which went as usual, except for the fact after fptw64 -greset, the system would take a long while (more than 3 minutes) to shutdown the white LED. I removed the power, and the system booted, but the MEBx prompt was nowhere to be seen. Thinking i have maybe flashed the wrong (original?) .bin file, I re-dumped, and put it into FIT. I was greeted by a warning
and the AMT settings still being disabled. I re-enabled them and set the proper flash settings, but upon build it errors out with
This was done using CSME System Tools v11 r42
I’ve referenced this thread wwwDOTwin-raidDOTcom/t3950f39-Optiplex-Intel-FIT-Build-Error.html and I seem to have access to an uncorrupted dump of me.bin. That said, I’m also looking at the xml that FIT is building, and am not sure where the problem lies. Does FIT even need to have a bin file to construct one, or is the XML itself enough?
At any rate, if worst comes to worst, could someone help me with fixing this? I’m looking at the Cleanup guide and it’s so big I don’t even know where to begin. I’m not really a windows/gui guy
I’m attaching my dumped me.bin, the generated XML and the outputs of meinfo --verbose and meanalyzer, hoping that @plutomaniac will see this and help me out I’m not really a windows guy, I work with Linux day-to-day and haven’t used in any great capacity since windows XP
Edit: I’ve dumped a me.bin from one of my working nodes, and got the exact same result. And I’m wondering - can I just flash me.bin from one of my amt-enabled machines to this new one? They are on the same bios and ME versions. Will this work?
