IDADAPT - Intel PCI NIC Identification Utility ============================================== November 2, 2015 CONTENTS ======== - OVERVIEW - RUNNING THE UTILITY - USAGE NOTES - EXAMPLES - LIMITATIONS - DRIVER TO PCI ID CROSS REFERENCE OVERVIEW ======== The Intel PCI NIC Identification Utility identifies Intel PCI adapters and provides adapter properties and assigned resources. You can readily use this information in batch, script and configuration files for automation purposes. The utility returns the following values: - Slot number. PCI slot number reported by the adapter; returned in decimal format. - SLOTX. PCI slot number reported by the adapter; For Gigabit solutions it is returned in hexidecimal format. - PCI device ID. Adapters sharing the same PCI device ID can use the same driver. See the table at the end of this document showing the relationship between drivers and PCI device IDs. - SSID - PCI Subsystem ID and the Subvendor ID displayed in hexidecimal. - MAC address. 12-digit Ethernet ID assigned to the adapter. This number is also printed on the adapter label. - Revision ID. Adapters with the same device ID may be distinguished with the revision ID. RUNNING THE UTILITY =================== Using the "/?" option will display a list of supported command line options. To run IDADAPT.EXE, you must start the computer in DOS. This utility should not be run from a command prompt within any version of Microsoft Windows*, or in any other non-DOS operating system. This utility should not be run with any memory managers (such as EMM386) loaded. IDADAPT.EXE can be run with no command line options, or with either of the following command line options: /B:<filename> Creates a file containing the adapter properties with the name specified. This file is in the format of a DOS batch file. If this file is named with the extension of .BAT, it can be executed as a batch file. Executing this batch file will create environment variables from the adapter properties. /VERSION Displays IDADAPT version information and the diagnostic library version information. NOTES ===== IDADAPT.EXE will detect and return information on a maximum of sixteen adapters in a computer. Running the utility with no command line parameters displays the adapter properties on the screen. For example, if you enter IDADAPT in a computer with 2 Intel PCI adapters installed, the display would resemble the following: NIC1 SLOT=43 SLOTX=0068 PCI ID=1229 SSID=10118086 MAC=0002B31FE072 RevID=65 NIC2 SLOT=47 SLOTX=0069 PCI ID=1031 SSID=10118086 MAC=0090270AAF73 RevID=32 In this example, the first adapter has the following properties: - Logical slot is 43 - SLOTX is 0068 - PCI device ID is 1229 - SSID is 10118086 - MAC address is 0002B31FE072 - The revision ID is 65 If the utility does not find any adapters, it reports "No supported adapters were found" and returns an error level of 1. You can use the error level for conditional branching in batch files. If you run the utility using /B:<filename>, it creates a file with the name you specified. This file contains adapter properties in a batch file format. This is an example batch file: SET NIC1_SLOT=43 SET NIC1_SLOTX=0068 SET NIC1_PCIID=1229 SET NIC1_SSID=10118086 SET NIC1_MAC=0002B31FE072 SET NIC1_REVID=65 SET NIC2_SLOT=47 SET NIC2_SLOTX=0069 SET NIC2_PCIID=1031 SET NIC2_SSID=10118086 SET NIC2_MAC=0090270AAF73 SET NIC2_REVID=32 If the name you assign to the file ends in .BAT, it can be executed in DOS. Executing the file sets environment variables for each property of each adapter. Once the environment variables are created by the batch file, you can insert the values into configuration files as needed. See examples below. When using this batch file, remember that about 64 bytes of environment space will be needed for each adapter found. Ensure that you make sufficient environment space available in your configuration. EXAMPLES ======== Example 1: To create a startup disk that loads a Packet Driver named PCKTDRVR.COM on the second found NIC, the AUTOEXEC.BAT file might contain the following: IDADAPT /B:INTELSET.BAT IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO NO_NIC CALL INTELSET.BAT PCKTDRVR 0x60 %NIC2_SLOT% GOTO END :NO_NIC ECHO NO ADAPTER FOUND!! PAUSE :END Example 2: To create a startup disk that automatically detects the adapter model and loads the proper DOS ODI driver, the AUTOEXEC.BAT file might contain the following: IDADAPT /B:INTELSET.BAT IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO NO_NIC CALL INTELSET.BAT LSL IF "%NIC1_PCIID%" == "1229" GOTO PRO100 IF "%NIC1_PCIID%" == "2449" GOTO PRO100 IF "%NIC1_PCIID%" == "1000" GOTO PRO1000 IF "%NIC1_PCIID%" == "1001" GOTO PRO1000 IF "%NIC1_PCIID%" == "1002" GOTO PRO1000 IF "%NIC1_PCIID%" == "1003" GOTO PRO1000 IF "%NIC1_PCIID%" == "1004" GOTO PRO1000 GOT0 NO_NIC :PRO100 E100BODI GOTO CONTINUE :PRO1000 E1000ODI GOTO CONTINUE :CONTINUE IPXODI VLM /V4 GOTO END :NO_NIC ECHO !! NO SUITABLE ADAPTER FOUND !!

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
