2.0   Installation and Setup Instructions
_________________________________________

        2.1   Follow the procedure in Microsoft's Windows PE documentation 
              to create a customizable Windows PE image.

        2.2   Change directory to the driver subdirectory and execute the 
              following command.

              ipmi_install.cmd Winpe_Image_Path [/p [Interface BaseAddress RegisterSpace]]

              where:
                   Winpe_Image_Path is the directory where the WinPE image is 
                   located. 
   
                   /p is followed by the three IPMI KCS Interface parameters.  
                   If they are not listed then the user will be prompted for 
                   input. 
   
                   Interface is one of the following three numeric values:
                      1  KCS
                      2  SMIC
                      3  BT
   
                   BaseAddress is the base address of the BMC system interface, 
                   for example: 0xca2, 3234 etc.
   
                   RegisterSpace is the alignment for the base address and is one 
                   of the following three numeric values:
                      0  ByteBoundary
                      1  32BitBoundary
                      2  16ByteBoundary

              Example commands:
                ipmi_install c:\winpe 
                ipmi_install c:\winpe /p 
                ipmi_install c:\winpe /p 1 0xca2 0

              The three IPMI KCS Interface parameters for the Baseboard Management 
              Controller (BMC) firmware on IBM's systems currently default to:
              KCS, 0xca2, ByteBoundary.  Therefore you should use these values when 
              creating your ipmi_install command.
           
              More detailed information on these interface parameters is available on 
              page 542 of an Intel document located on the following web page: 
              http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/IPMIv2_0_rev1_0_markup_2.pdf
              
              For Windows PE installation information, please refer to Microsoft's 
              Windows PE documentation.

        2.3   Run oscdimg to create ISO file and burn the ISO file to CD.
