Device-Driver Installation Instructions: The device drivers necessary for the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapte to function properly can be installed in one of two ways:

•  Use the CoPilot ApplicationGuide CD to install the device drivers.

   To install the device drivers with the CoPilot ApplicationGuide CD follow the instructions provided  in the 'Installing Application Programs' section of the 'Software and Netfinity Manager Reference' section  of this Server Library .

•  Use the CoPilot ApplicationGuide CD and Diskette Factory to create the diskettes you will need to install  the device drivers.

   You will need to create one of the following diskettes:

  •  IBM Netfinity 5500 Device Drivers for Advanced System Management, version 1.00
  •  Advanced System Management Device Driver Diskette

   Follow the Diskette Factory instructions provided on the ApplicationGuide CoPilot CD to create the  diskettes.

If you choose to use the ApplicationGuide CoPilot CD to install the device drivers you you will not need to perform any additional steps to finish installing the device drivers.

If you choose to use Diskette Factory to create diskettes and manually install the device drivers, use the following instructions to complete the device driver installation.

1.  Insert the diskette labelled IBM Netfinity 5500 Device Drivers for Advanced System Management, version  1.00 or Advanced System Management Device Driver Diskette into the primary diskette drive.

   Note: For additional information, review the README file on the diskette.

2.  At a command prompt, type the following command and then press Enter:
   •  For OS/2 operating system
       a:\os2\setup

   •  For Microsoft Windows NT operating system
       a:\nt\setup

   •  For Novell NetWare operating system
       load a:\netware\setup

3.  You will receive a prompt indicating the location (path and directory) where the device  drivers (files) will be placed, and asking you if you want the files to be placed there.
   •  If you want the files to be placed in the indicated directory, press Enter.
   •  If you want the files to be placed in a different directory, specify the desired directory name,  then, press Enter.
      Be sure to use a valid directory name, and include the complete path.

      The device drivers will run immediately.

   •  For Novell NetWare operating system
      The system will also update the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

5.  Remove the diskette from the diskette drive.
6.  If you have the Microsoft Windows NT operating system, go to step 8.
7.  If you have the OS/2 operating system or the Novell NetWare operating system:
   1.  Perform the shutdown procedure that the operating system uses.
