However, you MUST do this BEFORE you install the driver! First, add a key 'Parameters' under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ipmi\. Next add three REG_DWORD values, IPMI_InterfaceType, IPMI_BaseAddr, and IPMI_RegisterSpace under Parameters. IPMI_InterfaceType can be set to 1/2/3[KCS/SMIC/BT]. Currently we only support KCS interface. IPMI_BaseAddr sets the KCS base address, e.g. ca2 (in hex). IPMI_RegisterSpace sets the register spacing. Assume our base address is ca2, 0, means use ca2-ca3, 1 means use ca2-ca5, 2 means use ca2-cb2. [- Appendix C Table C-1 of the IPMI v1.5 Spec ]. All of three values are required and names are case sensitive. Otherwise the driver won't be installed properly. [Optional Key] IPMI_IOMap set the type of IPMI_BaseAddr, 1[default]: IO port, 0: Memory. ************************ * Driver uninatllation * ************************ Follow these instructions to uninstall a driver.
