_______________________________________
  
        To install OSA IPMI KCS driver for Microsoft Windows 2000 server or 
        Windows server 2003, simply run the setup.exe.
        
        During installation, the driver will query SMBIOS record 38 for device 
        driver parameters.

        2.1     Unattended installation

                setup.exe /s /v"/qn /L* "c:\log_path\log.txt""
                Log path has to be pre-created. The outer quotation mark tells setup.exe
                to pass option(s) to Windows Installer.
            
        2.2     Unattended un-installation
