DMI Installation Procedure (DMI Version 2.0)
To install, follow the steps listed below:
__1 Copy the PCNET.MIF and PCNET.EXE files to a directory (for instance, PCNET).
__2 Install Intel's DMI SDK and DMI Explorer.
__3 Reboot the system. Make sure that the service layer (WIN32SL.EXE) program is
running.
__4 Launch the DMI Explorer program. Click on the Add Component option under the
File menu. Specify the path of the PCNET.MIF file and click on the OK button.
__5 From the Start menu, run the PCNET.EXE program.
__6 In the DMI Explorer window, double click on the My Computer icon. You will see
the item, AMD PCnet Ethernet Controller Component. Expanding this item will
show the 19 groups under it. You can examine the attributes and their
corresponding values by expanding the group you are interested in.
__7 If you are running the PermaNet Server Software driver and you have configured
two adapters as a pair, you will see a pop-up message each time the primary NIC
fails or recovers. This can be demonstrated by causing a link failure on the
primary NIC by pulling the Primary adapter's cable.
