                        Silent Install Readme Note
                        ==========================

This note shows the different line commands to run unattended "silent" installs for all of the Broadcom Management Applications on this CD release.

You may run silent installs directly from the CD however, it is customary and recommended to copy the installation files to a hard disk before running the silent install.  The reason for this is, the setup /s or setup /z commands will automatically generate a setup.log file in the directory it is run from.  If running from the CD, it cannot generate this log file, and therefore will not execute the silent install.  If the silent install MUST be run from the CD, this example . . . setup /s /f2"c:\setup.log"  . . .  will target c:\ for an alternative log file location.

Locations and line commands for silent installs:
See important notes for dependencies, and OS Platforms. Files will not be installed if the target system is not setup properly.

Broadcom Management Applications:
Location: \MgmtApps
Command: setup /z"  " [place the components within the quotes] 
(Use lower case letters only, no slashes or dashes.  place a space between each component)
Example: setup /z"bacs basp"  [This command will install both BACS and the BASP driver]
Example: setup /s [This command will install both BACS and the BASP driver]

bacs = Broadcom Advanced Control Suite (BACS) is an application that contains a set of utilities supporting diagnostics and monitoring for B57XX network adapters.

basp = Broadcom Advanced Server Program Intermediate Driver. The Load Balance/Virtual LANs can be created after installing this driver. Any available adapter can be configured as part of a team. Teaming is a method of grouping multiple adapters into a virtual adapter (bundling multiple adapters to look like a single adapter). The benefit of this approach is load balancing. 

snmp = The SNMP sub-agent is designed for the Windows 2000 and Windows NT SNMP Service. The BASP subagent allows an SNMP manager software to actively monitor the configurations and performance of the Broadcom Advanced Server features. 
Note: The Microsoft SNMP Service must be installed for the Advanced Server sub-agent to work properly.  This Microsoft SNMP Service can be installed before or after the Broadcom SNMP sub-agent is installed.

dmi = The Broadcom DMI PCI Hot Plug Service provides hot-swap functionality for the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Adapter in a Windows NT 4.0 hot plug system. The hot-swap feature allows the user to replace a Broadcom adapter without bringing down the system. 
Note: DMI Service Provider software MUST be installed "prior" to installing the DMI PCI Hot Plug service.  This service is only supported on Windows NT and will not install on any other OS platform.

cim = Broadcom's implementation of CIM will provide various classes to provide information to users through CIM client applications. 
Note: CIM Provider will install only if the Microsoft WMI core components is detected.  If you have not installed the WMI core components, go to "msdn.microsoft.com/downloads" and search for WMI core.  Proceed with installing the Microsoft WMI core components then install the Broadcom CIM Provider. On Windows NT and Windows 98 systems you may need to install Microsoft WMI core components.  On Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows ME, these core components are already in the OS.

notray = If you do not want the BACS tray icon to show up in the system tray after install, select this option. 

all = All of the above listed components

? = A dialog which shows the above mentioned line commands.
