************************************************************
* 3.  CONTENTS OF THE DISTRIBUTION PACKAGE
************************************************************
The Intel(R) Chipset Device Software package contains the 
following items:

    File(s)       
    -------
    SetupChipset.exe
       -or-
    Chipset_<version>_VIP.zip
       -or-
    Chipset_<version>_MUP.zip
       -or-
    Chipset_<version>_BKC.zip
       -or-
    Chipset_<version>_<configuration>_MUP.zip
       -or-
    Chipset_<version>_<configuration>_BKC.zip

The <version> string could be similar to "10.0.0", and
the <configuration> string could be similar to "Pre-Alpha",
"Alpha", "Beta, "Public", or "NDA".


************************************************************
* 3A. PUBLIC AND NDA CONFIGURATIONS
************************************************************
The Intel(R) Chipset Device Software supports two types of
configurations, "Public" and "NDA". The Public configuration
has all Intel Confidential (IC) information, such as platform
codenames, stripped out of the build. The NDA configuration
includes this information, as well as extra installation
functionality that is not safe enough to be released
publicly, but is required for validation efforts. For this
reason, NDA-configured releases are not permitted to be
released publicly or to anyone not possessing a Non-Dislosure
Agreement (NDA) with Intel Corporation.

To help identify whether a given build configured with NDA
functionality, a large red banner has been added to the user
interface of the installer, stating that it is an NDA build.

The Public and NDA configurations are only available for
production releases, "Production Candidate" (PC) and
"Production Version" (PV). For non-production releases
Pre-Alpha, Alpha, and Beta, it is assumed that the build
will not be released publicly. Therefore, non-production
releases only have one configuration, the NDA configuration.

The Intel(R) Chipset Device Software does not support
installation of both build configurations on a single
machine, this will result in an error thrown by the
Microsoft Windows* Installer framework during the second
installation, manifesting as an error message in the log
files and on the installer user interface when running in 
Interactive mode. The installer will exit with code 666.


************************************************************
* 4.  LIST OF AVAILABLE COMMAND LINE FLAG OPTIONS

                  Current version number of the Intel(R) Chipset Device 
                  Software 


************************************************************
* 7.  INSTALLING THE INF FILES PRIOR TO OS INSTALLATION
************************************************************
    This procedure requires a minimum of 5MB of hard disk space.
    It is important to make sure there is enough disk space
    before beginning the copy process. Copy the operating system
    installation files from the setup directory to a directory
    on the hard disk. This can be done by opening 'My Computer',
    right-clicking on the correct drive, and selecting 'Properties'.

    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    The installer executable (SetupChipset.exe) must always be run
    to guarantee correct installation. In the case of INF injection,
    this means that the installer must be run after the OS installation
    completes, even if the INF files have already been installed via
    INF injection or Have Disk installation.

By [supported Windows OS] it is meant a Windows operating system
that is listed in section 2.

The simplest method for installing Windows onto new hardware is to
start directly from the Windows product DVD with an answer file called 
Autounattend.xml. Boot the computer with the Windows Setup media in the 
DVD drive and the configuration set available on an external drive. 
By default, Windows Setup searches all removable media for an answer 
file called Autounattend.xml. Autounattend.xml must be located at the 
root of the removable media.

The answer file enables you to automate all or parts of Windows Setup 
Including adding INF files. You can create an answer file by using Windows
System Image Manager (Windows SIM).

Microsoft* published a Windows Automated Installation Kit(WAIK) 
(Must be the supported Windows OS version) which facilitates creation of answer files 
and image creation for unattended installs of supported Windows OS with tools such as
Windows SIM

To create a configuration set you will need:
	Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) installed on a technician computer.
	An authorized copy of a supported Windows OS product DVD.
	Chipset device driver .inf files.
	Access to a network share or removable media with sufficient storage space.

1. Create a New Answer File
(In this step, you define basic disk configuration and other settings that are required 
for an unattended installation.)
	A. On your technician computer, insert the supported Windows OS product DVD into 
	   the local DVD-ROM drive.
	B. On the desktop of the technician computer, navigate to the \Sources directory
	   on your DVD-ROM drive. Copy the Install.wim file from the Windows product DVD
           to a location on the computer.
	C. Open Windows SIM. On the desktop of the computer, click Start, point to 
           Programs, point to Microsoft Windows OPK (or Windows AIK), and then click 
           Windows System Image Manager.
	D. On the File menu, click Select Windows Image.
	E. In the Select a Windows Image dialog box, navigate to the location where 
	   you saved the Install.wim file, and then click Open.
		Note:  
		A warning will appear that a .clg file does not exist. 
		Click OK to create a .clg file. 
		If there is more than one Windows image in the .wim file, you are prompted
		to select the Windows image to open.
	F. On the File menu, click New Answer File.
2. Create a Distribution Share
(In this step, you create a distribution-share folder on your technician computer. 
The distribution share will store out-of-box drivers, applications, and any resource 
files needed for your custom installation.)
	A. In Windows SIM, in the Distribution Share pane, click Select a Distribution
	   Share.
	B. Right-click to select Create Distribution Share.
	C. The Create a Distribution Share dialog box appears.
	D. Click New Folder, and then type a name for the folder. For example 
	   "C:\MyDistributionShareClick"
	E. In the Distribution Share pane, the distribution share folder opens. 
	   Windows SIM automatically creates the following folder structure.
		C:\MyDistributionShare\$OEM$ Folders
		C:\MyDistributionShare\Packages
		C:\MyDistributionShare\Out-of-Box 
3. Add Drivers and Applications to Distribution Share
	A. In Windows SIM, on the Tools menu, select Explore Distribution Share.
	B. The Distribution Share window opens.
	C. Copy your device driver files (.inf) to the Out-of-Box Drivers folder.
		1. Create subdirectories for each driver. For example, 
		   create directories "Chipset" and "Video" in the Out-of-Box Drivers 
		   folder.
	D. Close the distribution share folder.
4. Add a Device Driver to the Answer File
(In this step, you add an out-of-box drivers (.inf) path to your answer file.)	
	A. In Windows SIM, on the Insert menu, click Driver Path, and then click Pass 1
	   windowsPE. 
	B. The Browse for Folder dialog box appears.
	C. Select the driver path to add to the answer file, and then click OK. 
	   For example, "C:\MyDistributionShare\Out-of-Box Drivers\Chipset"
5. Validate the Answer File
(In this step, you validate the settings in your answer file and then save them to a file.)
	A. In Windows SIM, click Tools, and then click Validate Answer File.
	B. If the answer file validates successfully, a "success" message appears in the
           Messages pane; otherwise, error messages appear in the same location.
	C. If an error occurs, in the Messages pane, double-click the error to navigate
           to the incorrect setting. Change the setting to fix the error, and then 
           revalidate the answer file.
	D. On the File menu, click Save Answer File. Save the file as Unattend.xml.
6. Create a Configuration Set
(In this step, you create a configuration set that will gather all of the resource files 
that you specified in your answer file into one location.)
	A. In Windows SIM, on the Tools menu, select Create Configuration Set.
	B. The Create Configuration Set window opens.
	C. Specify a destination location where you intend to publish the configuration set
	D. Select a removable drive such as a USB flash drive (UFD), and then click OK.
7. Deploying a Configuration Set Without a Network
	A. Turn on the new computer.
	B. Insert both the removable media containing your configuration set and the
	   supported Windows OS product DVD into the new computer.	
		Note: When using a USB flash drive, insert the drive directly into the 
                      primary set of USB ports for the computer. For a desktop computer, 
                      this is typically in the back of the computer.
 	C. Restart the computer by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL.
		Note: This example assumes that the hard drive is blank.
	D. Windows Setup (Setup.exe) begins automatically.
	E. By default, Windows Setup searches all removable media for an answer file 
	   called Autounattend.xml. Autounattend.xml must be located at the root of the 
           removable media.
	F. After Setup completes, validate that all customizations were applied, and then
	   reseal the computer by using the generalize option

Software version.
 
The correct version number is indicated at the registry
entry specified in section 6.


************************************************************
* 10.  TROUBLESHOOTING
************************************************************
It is assumed that the system requirements in Section 2 above 
have been satisfied.

Issue:      System locks up during Device Manager Remove or 
            during restart.

Solution:   System lockup can occur during reboot as a 
            result of several possible system issues.  In 
            the event of system lockup, reboot the machine 
            and view Device Manager.  If devices are listed 
            properly and the system experiences no further 
            problems, then the .INF file restore process was 
            successful. If devices are not configured 
            correctly, try re-running the procedures 
            outlined in Section 3.

            If this does not fix the issue or further issues
            are experienced, reinstall the operating system.

Issue:      After running the setup program and rebooting 
            the machine, Windows reports that it cannot find 
            one of the following files: ESDI_506.pdr

Solution:   Click Browse in the dialog box where this issue
            occurs, locate the <Windows>\System\IOSubsys
            directory. Click OK. The system should be able to
            locate this file in this directory and continue 
            re-enumerating for the new devices.

Issue:      After running the setup program and rebooting 
            the machine, Windows reports that it cannot find 
            one of the following files:
 
                  UHCD.SYS
                  USBD.SYS
                  USBHUB.SYS

Solution:   Click Browse in the dialog box where this issue 
            occurs and locate the following directory:
			
                  <Winnt>\System32\drivers 
                  
            Click OK. The system should be able to locate the 
            files in this directory and continue re-enumerating 
            for the new devices.

Issue:      After running the setup program and rebooting 
            the machine, Windows reports that it cannot find 
            the following file: ISAPNP.VXD

Solution:   Click Browse in the dialog box where this issue 
            occurs and locate the <Winnt>\System directory. 
            Click OK. The system should be able to locate this 
            file in this directory and continue re-enumerating 
            for the new devices.

Issue:      After performing the silent install, the 
            HKLM\Software\Intel\InfInst key was not created.

Solution:   This is caused by one of the following 
            scenarios:
               - The current system does not contain a 
                 supported operating system, or
                 -or-
               - The current system does not contain a 
                 supported chipset.

            Verify that the System Requirements are met as 
            outlined in Section 2.
