## Overview

This section provides instructions for installing ASF software on a client computer. Deployment describes methods that you can use for remote installation in your network enterprise.

### Components

Table 4 describes the software required for Intel's ASF solution.

#### Table 4. Included Software

Software | Description
Intel® Version 8.0+ Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) Network Adapter Driver | ASF-enabled NDIS driver
Intel ASF Agent WMI Console | Permits ASF feature configuration and enabling via Microsoft* Windows* Management Instrumentation (WMI)
Intel Pro Alerting Agent components | Interface between alert sending device and ASF configuration application
WMI Provider Core Version 1.5 or higher | Standardized interface for management applications using Microsoft Windows

## Installing the Intel Pro Alerting Agent

Listed below are the steps to install the Intel Pro Alerting Agent on computers that support ASF. Please note that the agent requires that the WMI Provider Core Version 1.5+ be present on the client system.

| NOTE: The WMI Provider Core cannot be removed from a system after it is installed. Its presence should not adversely affect any other software or hardware.
| NOTE: The WMI Core Provider is included with Windows XP and 2000, but must be installed separately with Windows NT* 4.0.

1. The installation program automatically determines whether the correct WMI software is present. If it is not, the installation instructs you to install the Microsoft WMI Provider and exits.
2. If necessary, download the WMI Provider Core from www.microsoft.com and install it on your system. Then, continue installing the agent.
3. Under the agent\install directory of the Intel ASF CD, double click setup.exe.
4. When the Intel Pro Alerting Agent Install Wizard appears, select Complete setup type and then click Next. The installation proceeds automatically.

The setup program installs and registers several individual software components that make up the agent and the ASF WMI layer, and compiles an ASF managed object format (.mof) file.

The Intel ASF Agent WMI Console does not require an installation program. The executable file AlertApp.exe is installed automatically when the agent is installed in the path C:\Program Files\intel\ASF Agent\console. Create a shortcut under Control Panel to it with the name Intel ASF Agent Console.

## Modifying, Repairing, or Uninstalling

You can modify, repair, or remove the Intel Pro Alerting Agent using either the installation file or the Add/Remove Programs (ARP) icon on the Control Panel.

To modify, repair, or remove the agent using the installation file, perform the following steps:

1. Open My Computer or Windows Explorer, navigate to the directory to which you downloaded the installation file, and double-click the setup file.
   The setup program begins.

3. Select the operation to perform:
   - Modify - Allows you to add or remove selected components. Click Next and then select the components you want to add or remove from the installation.
   - Repair - Checks components previously installed by the user. If a damaged component is detected, the program reinstalls it. If a required registry key has been deleted, the program re-creates it.
   - Remove - Uninstalls all installed components.
4. Click Next.
5. Click Install to modify or repair the agent, or click Remove to remove the agent.
6. Click Finish.
