Changes in v1.01: -Supports non failover member NIC card hot swap. -FLB status is polled. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -The Broadcom DMI PCI Hot Plug feature requires the Broadcom Management Application Program Interface (BMAPI) be installed to work properly. This file should be installed in the target system's System32 directory. Look for the presence of the file bmapi.dll. -Requires IBM Hot Plug Services v4.2 or newer to ensure proper operations. This version contains important bug fixes to galvanize proper hot plug operations. This version can be downloaded from the IBM website: "www-1.ibm.com/servlet/support/manager?rs=0&rt=0&org=psg&doc=MIGR-4BLKLS" or can be located through the IBM website search on "Hot Plug Services for Windows NT 4". -Requires the existence of the DMI Service Provider software v2.0 from Smart Technology Enabler or Intel in the target system for the DMI PCI Hot Plug Service to work. -DMI Service Provider software v2.0 has to be installed prior to the installation of the Broadcom DMI PCI Hot Plug Service. -The b57dmihp.mif file should be installed where the OEM DMI management software is installed. Typically, the DMI Management software is installed in \Program Files\OEM directory. The b57dmihp.mif should be installed into Program Files\OEM\DMI\Win32\mifs directory. The following files are installed from the OEM Hot Plug Software Kit. These Files have to be installed in the target system's Windows NT4.0 System32 directory after the installation of the Hot Plug application software. hotplug.sys swapdmi.dll nssevlog.dll nssrv.exe nssrv.mif swaplog.dll hotdmi.dll hotevlog.dll hotevent.exe hotplugc.cpl hotsrv.exe hotsrv.dll hotpnp.exe hotplug.mif The following files are installed from the OEM Hot Plug Software Kit. These Files have to be installed in the target system's OEM Hot Plug PCI product directory. I.e. in Dell system, these files are typically located in \Program Files\Dell Computer Corporation\Dell PCI Hot Plug Services if default installation path was selected during installation of the Hot Plug application software. hotswap.exe hotdevs.ini hotplug.hlp hotplug.cnt -Hot Add feature is not fully tested. Installation of a new BCM5700 NIC does not launch the Control Panel's Network NIC Adapter installation screen. This problem is due to the test target system's inability to stablize the power-on sequence on the newly seated NIC on the PCI slot. The test target system's PCI slot green LED remains flashing after being pushed. This LED should be on constantly to signal that the new NIC has been powered on properly. -Hot Add for Windows NT4.0 is not supported in the Dell servers.Download Driver Pack
