Please refer to the section 4.0 of this document for instructions on how to stop the Netfinity Manager program. By following the installation instructions shown below, the correct System Management Device Driver will be automatically installed onto your Netfinity Server. If the installation is being done from this diskette, insert this diskette into the server's floppy diskette drive, bring up a command prompt window, screen, or session, and enter one of the following commands. The examples shown below assume the floppy drive is A:. If the installation is being done from the Advanced Systems Management Utilities CD-ROM, insert this CD-ROM into the server's CD-ROM drive, bring up a command prompt window, screen, or session, and enter one of the following commands. The examples shown below assume the CD ROM drive is D:. For OS/2, type: A:\OS2\SETUP (if installation is from a diskette) or D:\DD\OS2\SETUP (if installation is from a CD-ROM) Follow the directions that appear on the screen For Windows 2000: For the following list of servers with the Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor hardware, correct driver installation will require that Windows 2000 be installed after ensuring that the system BIOS is at the following level or higher: Netfinity 5000: MOJT36A Netfinity 5500: KIJT73A Netfinity 5500 M10: KIJT73A Netfinity 5500 M20: KQJT19A If a BIOS update is required, use the latest BIOS image files and instructions for installation, which can be found at http://www.pc.ibm.com/support. The Windows 2000 System Management Driver files are included on the ServerGuide installation CDs for Windows 2000 and will be installed automatically when Windows 2000 is installed. Installation from the install diskette will only be required if Windows 2000 is installed without using ServerGuide, or if the System Management Driver is manually uninstalled. For installation under Windows 2000, you can choose from one of the following two methods. 1 The following set of instructions apply if you use the automatic initiation of the "Hardware Wizard" by Windows. * Click "Next" on the "Found New Hardware Wizard" screen. * The hardware will automatically be detected as an "Unknown" device for the Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor, or "Other PCI bridge device" for the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter hardware. * Select "Search for a suitable driver for my device" and click "Next". * Insert the floppy drive / CD-ROM and check the appropriate medium (floppy / CD) on the screen. Click "Next" to continue. * Hardware wizard will find the matching driver for your hardware (asmpa.inf or asmp.inf). * Follow instructions on screen until the "Finish" message appears. Click "Finish" to complete the installation of the driver. 2 The following set of instructions apply when you choose to either update the driver, or install the driver manually. * Open the "Device Manager". This may be done by right clicking on the "My Computer" icon on the desktop, selecting "Properties", and then selecting "Device Manager". * In the "System Devices", look for an "Unknown" device or "Other PCI bridge device". The hardware has automatically been detected as an "Unknown" device for the Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor, or "Other PCI bridge device" for the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter hardware. The driver must be installed for this detected device. * Highlight the appropriate device and right click to select "Properties". Click on the "Driver" tab, and select "Update Driver". * Select "Search for a suitable driver for my device" and click "Next". * Insert the floppy drive / CD-ROM and check the appropriate medium (floppy / CD) on the screen.
