Hi Anita,
Thanks for your post. There are a couple of things you need to check on your ThinkPad. First, when you are booting up,at the splash screen whereyou would normally type in to go to the BIOS, please type in . If your laptop has AMT capabilities, then that should take you to the MEBx main menu. You should also check your laptop documentation to see if it says it is vPro enabled. AMT is one technology included in vPro.

If you are able to reach the MEBx menu, this guide from the AMT 6.0 SDK will help you set it up correctly:

Hope this helps,
Judy
