Enabling AIM-T on Dell AMD PRO BIOS

AIM‑T (AMD Integrated Management Technology) is a PC manageability solution designed to enable secure, remote management of AMD PRO PCs. At its core, it brings together a dedicated management processor with tightly integrated hardware, firmware, and software to deliver reliable out‑of‑band control.

With AIM‑T, IT administrators gain the ability to monitor, diagnose, and manage systems remotely, even when the operating system is unavailable. Built on open standards, it ensures interoperability and flexibility, while seamless support across leading wired and wireless network solutions enables consistent, dependable manageability in diverse enterprise environments.

Dell Platforms supporting AIM-T

Dell devices featuring Ryzen™ PRO 8000 Series and 200 Series processors, as well as the latest Ryzen™ AI PRO processor-based models such as:

• Dell PRO 14/16 with Ryzen PRO 200 and Ryzen AI PRO 300 series
• Dell PRO Plus 13/14/16 with Ryzen PRO 200 and Ryzen AI PRO 300 series
• Dell PRO Max 14/16 with Ryzen AI PRO 300 series
• Dell PRO Micro/Slim/Tower Desktop with Ryzen PRO 8000 series

Step-by-Step: Enabling AIM-T in the BIOS

1. Enter the BIOS Menu: Use one of the following methods

a) Type "UEFI" in the Windows search bar, then select "Change advanced startup options" and click "Restart now"

b) On Windows, open Command Prompt as Administrator and run the following command: 

shutdown /r /fw /t 0 

This instructs Windows to reboot directly into UEFI/BIOS setup on the next restart.

c) Start with the system powered down. As you power the device on, repeatedly press the F2 key when the Dell logo appears. 

This interrupts the standard boot sequence and opens the Dell BIOS Setup.

2. In the BIOS Setup screen, Scroll down to select the System Management option.

3. Scroll down to see the DASH Support option.  

Set DASH Support to Enabled.

4. Click Apply Changes and then Exit. The system will reboot to apply the configuration.

Verification

To verify that BIOS settings are enabled, check the AIM-T Manageability Service in the system tray. 

The Manageability status should display "ON" when properly configured.

The Manageability status will show "OFF" in two scenarios:

1. Before enabling the BIOS settings outlined on this page
2. If BIOS settings were not applied/saved correctly. 

If you see the "OFF" status, repeat the configuration steps above to enable the settings.

To save the settings, ensure that you use the correct options containing "Save" and "Apply Changes" to properly save your changes before leaving the BIOS menu.

Next Steps

In order to use remote manageability, the system must be provisioned.

Use the AMD Provisioning Tool, to provision and deploy the provisioning package across all your devices.
