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 one of the two options listed in “Running a Software
Installation Interactively” on page 566. The warning in 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
completed successfully, the Finish dialog box 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 box is displayed to select
options for printing the installation report.
5. Click Finish to exit the 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.
Unattended Driver Installation
An unattended driver installation, sometimes referred to as a quiet or silent installation,
requires no user input. This is useful for performing an installation remotely from a
command script, or when you want to make sure a custom configuration is not
changed by a user during installation.
