HP 441877-00B Software And Configuration Manual page 16

To update the network driver, follow these instructions:
Locate the driver on the CD, diskette, or directory on your hard drive where you copied it from an
updated source. See Technical Support for a list of online sources for software and driver updates.
1.
Run the appropriate Driver Component Package (listed as CPxxxxxx.exe) in a directory on your hard
drive. The component is a self-extracting executable with a file name based on the component
number.
Click the Install button to proceed with the installation.
2.
3.
After the drivers have been installed, you may delete the Component Package that you copied.
Windows NT4 unattended install (push)
The following provides information about Windows NT support for HP NC-series network adapters.
Overview
The primary objective of the Push Installation is to get the client properly connected to the Windows NT®
server before the installation begins using the NDIS2 driver, and to keep the same client connected using
the NDIS4 driver after the Windows NT® server is installed without any end-user action.
The difficulty is that the list of supported adapters on the Windows NT® 4.0 CD-ROM is restricted and
special steps must be performed to update the installation source files and modify the scripts to automate
the process for the adapters not on the list.
Main steps of the process
1.
Create a Network Installation Startup disk from the Windows NT® server and modify it for your
adapter.
2.
Create a shared directory for the Windows NT® server installation files on the Windows NT®
server.
3.
Modify the UNATTEND.TXT installation script to automate the procedure and add the proper
adapter installation and configuration information.
The sample UNATTEND.TXT file, provided in Item 4 of the "Samples and Templates" section,
indicates how to override default registry parameters for the adapter in the [CPQNic1ParamSection]
section. The override parameters should not be used unless the default parameters will not work
properly for a specific installation. The sample parameters are commented out.
4.
Integrate the adapter driver files into the Windows NT® installation source files.
5.
Perform the Unattended Installation bootup with the prepared startup disk from the client system.
Performing an unattended installation on Windows NT 4.0
1.
Prepare a Windows NT® 4.0 server:
a.
Create a folder on the server hard disk for the installation files (for example, NT40.INS). Make
this folder shared (for example, with shared name NT40.INS).
Create a user (for example, USERID with a password password) and grant read and view rights
b.
for the NT40.INS folder.
2.
Use a CD-ROM drive at the Windows NT® server and copy the i386 folder with Windows NT® 4.0
installation files to the shared folder NT40.INS on this server (for example, using NT Explorer).
3.
Create or modify the installation answer file UNATTEND.TXT as required by your specific system and
desired Windows NT® configurations. UNATTEND.TXT may be read-only and may need to be
made write-able before editing (for example, attrib -r unattend.txt). Refer to the sample
UNATTEND.TXT file with comments.
4.
Create the \CPQANC directory: NT40.INS\i386\DRVLIB.NIC\CPQANC.
