Setting up Intel(R) 10GbE Network Connection Drivers for RIS Installation
===========================================================================
To set up network drivers for RIS installation, you must copy files from the Intel(R) Network Connections Software CD to the RIS image [IMAGE_ROOT]. Follow the directions for your operating system.

Intel(R) 10GbE Network Connections Drivers are not supported on either Microsoft* Windows* 2000 or Microsoft* Windows* XP.

Microsoft* Windows Server* 2003 (32-bit)
==================================================================

1. Create an [IMAGE_ROOT]\$oem$\$1\Drivers\NIC directory if one does not already exist.

2. Copy all files from the PROXGB\Win32 directory to the [IMAGE_ROOT]\$oem$\$1\Drivers\NIC directory.

3. Make the following changes to the .SIF file that is used for this image installation (located in the [IMAGE_ROOT]\I386\Templates directory): 

[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = yes
OemPnpDriversPath = \Drivers\Nic 
 
4. Copy all .SYS files from PROXGB\Win32 directory to the [IMAGE_ROOT]\i386 directory. Do NOT copy the INF files to this directory.

5. Delete IXE5132.PNF (if present) from the [IMAGE_ROOT]\i386 directory. 

6. Extract the .INF files from PROXGB\Win32\RIS_INF\IXE5132.zip to the [IMAGE_ROOT]\i386 directory.

7. Restart the Remote Installation Service.

8. Follow the rest of the Microsoft instructions for adding a new network driver to the RIS installation.


Microsoft Windows Server 2003, 64-bit Edition
=============================================

1. Create an [IMAGE_ROOT]\$oem$\$1\Drivers\NIC directory if one does not already exist.

2. Copy all files from the PROXGB\Win64 directory to the [IMAGE_ROOT]\$oem$\$1\Drivers\NIC directory.

3. Make the following changes to the .SIF file that is used for this image installation (located in the [IMAGE_ROOT]\ia64\Templates directory): 

[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = yes
OemPnpDriversPath = \Drivers\Nic 
 
4. Copy all .SYS files from the PROXGB\Win64 directory to the [IMAGE_ROOT]\ia64 directory. Do NOT copy the INF files to this directory.

5. Delete IXE5164.PNF (if present) from the [IMAGE_ROOT]\ia64 directory. 

6. Extract the .INF file from PROXGB\Win64\RIS_INF\IXE5164.ZIP to the [IMAGE_ROOT]\ia64 directory. 

7. Restart the Remote Installation Service. 

8. Follow the rest of the Microsoft instructions for adding a new network driver to the RIS installation.


Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64
==============================================================

1. Create an [IMAGE_ROOT]\$oem$\$1\Drivers\NIC directory if one does not already exist.

2. Copy all files from the PROXGB\Winx64 directory to the [IMAGE_ROOT]\$oem$\$1\Drivers\NIC directory.

3. Make the following changes to the .SIF file that is used for this image installation (located in the [IMAGE_ROOT]\amd64\Templates directory): 

[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = yes
OemPnpDriversPath = \Drivers\Nic 
 
4. Copy all .SYS files from the PROXGB\Winx64 directory to the [IMAGE_ROOT]\amd64 directory. Do NOT copy the INF files to this directory.

5. Delete IXE51x64.PNF (if present) from the [IMAGE_ROOT]\amd64 directory. 

6. Extract the .INF files from PROXGB\Winx64\RIS_INF\IXE51x64.zip to the [IMAGE_ROOT]\amd64 directory.
