Software-First Installation
The driver kit must be downloaded from the Emulex website and loaded. Either the full
or core driver package may be installed; only one can be installed on a system.
To perform a software-first installation:
1. Run AutoPilot Installer using any of the options listed in “Running a Software
Installation Interactively” on page 550. Figure 2-1 appears:
Figure 2-1 AutoPilot Installer Warning (Software-First Installation)
2. Click OK. A Welcome page appears.
3. Click Next. The installation automatically progresses Once the installation is
successful, the Finish Page appears.
4. View or print a report, if desired.

View Installation Report – The installation report is a text file with current
Emulex adapter inventory, configuration information and task results.

Print Installation Report – The Windows print dialog is displayed to select
options for printing the installation report.
5. Click Finish to exit AutoPilot Installer.
Text-Only Driver Installation
Text-based installation mode is used automatically when the driver kit installer runs on
a server with the Server Core installation option of Windows Server. During text-based
installations, AutoPilot Installer uses a command prompt window. The driver kit
installer notifies you when the driver is installed and also gives you a chance to stop the
installation.
Whether AutoPilot installer is launched from the command line or run as a program,
Windows always starts AutoPilot Installer as a separate stand-alone task. This means
that AutoPilot Installer has its own command prompt window and cannot access
others.
