Unlike its consumer counterpart (the 82579V), the 82579LM was built to support Intel vPro and iAMT . This allows IT administrators to manage the machine remotely – including power cycling, BIOS updates, and OS reinstallation – even when the PC is powered off or the OS is unresponsive. This out-of-band management is the LM’s defining feature. 82579lm gigabit network
