Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- establishing a secure communication link between a network input/output device for a computing device and a remote management application;
receiving, at the network input/output device, one or more commands from the remote management application via the secure communication link; and
implementing, at the network input/output device, one or more management functions based on the received one or more commands, the one or more management functions to enable the remote management application to manage or control one or more operating parameters of the computing device.

Abstract
Examples are disclosed for remote management of a computing device. In some examples, a secure communication link may be established between a network input/output device for a computing device and a remote management application. Commands may be received from the remote management application and management functions may be implemented at the network input/output device. Implementation of the management functions may enable the remote management application to manage or control at least some operating parameters of the computing device. Other examples are described and claimed.

22. At least one machine readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on a system cause the system to:
-
establish a secure communication link between a network input/output device for a computing device and a remote management application; receive one or more commands from the remote management application via the secure communication link; and implement, at the network input/output device, one or more management functions based on the received one or more commands, the one or more management functions to enable the remote management application to manage or control one or more operating parameters of the computing device without use of a separate baseband management controller (BMC). - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
