Using SetupBD.exe to Install Base Drivers on Windows Server* Core Operating
Systems
NOTE:
If you want to use prosetcl.exe to configure your adapters, you must use DxSetup.exe to
install drivers and Intel PROSet. SetupBD.exe only installs the base drivers. Please note that
support for the Intel PROSet command line utilities (prosetcl.exe and crashdmp.exe) is being
removed. This functionality will be replaced by the
Intel Netcmdlets for Microsoft* Windows
. Please transition all of your scripts and processes to use the Intel Netcmdlets for
Microsoft Windows PowerShell.

You must include a space between switches.

Other information
NOTES:
l
If you install drivers on a system based on a server chipset and BIOS that are Intel I/OAT
capable, the
/s
switch (silent install) forces a reboot without the
/r
switch. If you do not
want the system to reboot, use the
/nr
switch.
l
For Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology to function properly, you must reboot after driver
installation.
You can use the
/r
and
/nr
switches only with a silent install (i.e. with the "/s" option).
