SMC Networks 10/98

Overview

The purpose of this file is to allow for the unattended installation of 
Windows NT4.0 Workstation or Server with the SMC EtherPower II PCI adapters.


Supported Adapters:

SMC 9432 EtherPower II 10/100 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter


This software distribution has unattended files and sample scripts for 
Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and Server.

The sample unattended script is:  unattend.txt


Installation Steps:

1)  Extract the Compress file.
2)  Create a new Subdirectory structure on your Network Installation Server
    within the Windows NT distribution share point.  The new directory structure
    is shown in the example below:

    EXAMPLE:  F:\WINNT\i386   -  Distribution Share Point on Server
    ADD:      \$OEM$\NET\SMC  -  Directory Structure


    The directory structure once completed should look like this:

    EXAMPLE:  F:\WINNT\I386\$OEM$\NET\SMC	


3)  Copy the SMC Drivers into the new SMC subdirectory:

    EXAMPLE: unattend.txt
             smcpwr2.hlp
             smcpwr2n.sys
             oemsetup.inf


4)  If you are using your own Unattend.txt file please take note of the
    sections below.  Please add these sections to your existing script file:

    [Unattended]
    OemPreinstall = yes

    [Network]
    InstallAdapters = SelectedAdaptersSection

    [SelectedAdaptersSection]
    SMCPWRII = OEMAdapterParamSection, \$OEM$\NET\SMC	

    [OEMAdapterParamSection]



Command line execution

Start NT installation with the following command line

{source}\winnt.exe /B /S:{source} /U:{source}\$OEM$\NET\SMC\unattend.txt

Where {source} is the source drive and source directory on the distribution 
software server. In this example the share point directory is called 
F:\WINNT\I386.


This Example assumes that it is executed from within the I386 Directory.

EXAMPLE:  WINNT /B /S:F:\WINNT\I386 /U:F:\WINNT\I386\$OEM$\NET\SMC\UNATTEND.TXT
