## Overview

The Windows\DMI\Win32 folder contains Intel Client Instrumentation for DMI v3.0 for:

- Windows NT* 4.0 with Service Pack 3 including NDIS HotFix or with a subsequent Service Pack
- Windows* 95 (NDIS drivers only)
- Windows 98
- Windows ME
- Windows 2000
- Windows XP

The Windows\DMI\Win32 folder contains the MIF files your management software will need to view in order to view the Intel adapter functions.

The DMI 2.0 SP SDK v1.10 (Service Provider) setup program is located under Windows\DMI\Win32_SP. This must be installed or Intel Client Instrumentation for DMI Version 3.0 will not work.

The DMI 2.0 Service Provider (SP) and Client Instrumentation 3.0 for Windows (CI) are updated software modules that allow standards-based DMI 2.0 applications, including Intel(R) LANDesk, to monitor the status of PCI adapters. The drivers included in this folder can be used to view both single adapter information and custom information including AFT/ALB Teaming, VLAN, and Flow Control.

## Software Requirements and Install File Locations

The software requirements to run the Intel Client Instrumentation are:
A Windows 9x or NT based operating system including Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Any Intel NDIS PCI adapter driver. Intel Client Instrumentation supports all Intel PCI PRO/100, PRO/100+ and PRO/1000 adapters. If you are running an NDIS based driver under Windows NT 4.0, there is no need to install any new drivers to get DMI support.

The Service Provider must be installed in order to use the Intel DMI Instrumentation. However, the instrumentation may be installed either before or after installing the Service Provider. If you have a Service Provider later than Version 2.0 already installed, you do not need to install the Service Provider.

To install the Intel Client Instrumentation (this is not order dependent):

- Run \Windows\DMI\Win32_SP\SETUP.EXE (to install the Service Provider)
- Restart the system. This is required for the Service Provider to start.
- Run \Windows\DMI\Win32\INSTALL.EXE (to install the Client Instrumentation)

Contact your Network Administrator if you need help with installation.

## Uninstall

To properly uninstall the Client Instrumentation, the Service Provider software must still be running. Then go to
the Add/Remove Software in the Windows Control Panel and select Intel Client Instrumentation for DMI. Click
Remove.

After Intel Client Instrumentation is gone from this list, you may remove the Service Provider software through the Start Programs menu. MIFs usually do not require removal, but if you should wish to remove the Intel specific files, see the documentation for your Management application.

## Supported Standards

The DMI instrumentation on the Intel CD does not comply with the DMTF DMI 2.0 standards. For directions on how to install a DMI version which complies to the standards, go to the Intel Support web site at http://support.intel.com.
At this time there are no user SETs. There are sets in the IBM Failover Adapter Table Group that are required by the IBM Hotplug process but there is no user set allowed.

Only the following events listed in the ni_nic.mif are currently supported:

- Cable unplugged/No LAN activity
- Adapter initialization failure
- AFT/ALB events (Adapter Fault Tolerance/Adaptive Load Balancing)

## Known Issues

### Known Problems in Installation and Uninstallation

- Version 3.0 of the Intel Client Instrumentation may not install correctly over an existing Version 1.0 of the Intel DMI Network Adapter Instrumentation Layer. The Uninstall feature may not work correctly after upgrading so please uninstall Ver 1.0 BEFORE upgrading. In order to install Version 3.0 correctly, use the documented Uninstall procedures for Version 1.0.
- If the TCP/IP protocol is removed after installing the Client Instrumentation, you must reinstall the Client Instrumentation again after you reinstall TCP/IP.

### Known Problems with Enumeration

- Enumeration of adapters, teams and VLANs takes place when the DMI instrumentation starts. Hence, if teams or VLANs are added while the DMI instrumentation is running, the new teams or VLANs will not show up until the DMI instrumentation has been restarted.
