Hi there!
I just purchased an Intel NUC with the i5 ivy bridge chipset. Specifically, DC53427HYE. The most interesting aspect of this device to me is the Intel AMT feature. I verified that this NUC has an Intel Core i5 3427U CPU, which, according to Ark, does in fact have vPro technology on board.
I have two problems so far.
First, entering the Intel MEBx configuration is *extremely* difficult. I can get into the BIOS setup (F2), BIOS update (F7), and boot device selection (F10) quite easily. But accessing the MEBx configuration via Ctrl-P is nearly impossible. I have found that Ctrl-P works, about 1 in 100 times. I've managed to get into MEBx a few times now. It seems to be a very sensitive timing problem.
Secondly, when I have managed to get into MEBx, the default password does not work. I have tried, "admin", "qd,in", and "P@ssw0rd". None of these are accepted. I have reset the BIOS/CMOS by closing jumpers 1 and 2 next to the memory modules, and tried "admin" and "qd,in" once again. No luck.
I have updated the BIOS itself from the 4/25/2013 BIOS that it came with, to the 11/16/2013 version 0028. Still no luck.
Please help?
