-<p class=MsoPlainText> </p>\r
-<p class=MsoPlainText>Installed user \r

-run from a Command Prompt window; see 'Start->Program \r
-Files->OpenFabrics Alliance-> OpenFabrics Windows->Command \r
-Prompt'.</p>\r
-\r
-<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>\r
-\r
-<p class=MsoPlainText>The \91default\92 installation installs \91released\92 (not\r

-<p class=MsoPlainText> </p>\r
-\r
-<p class=MsoPlainText>A single<o:p> instance of a subnet manager, opensm.exe, must be \r
-running on a fabric connected node in order for the Infiniband fabric to be configured and useful. Generally \r
-the default arguments to opensm.exe are sufficient to configure a fabric; see \r
-the OFW Manual or opensm -h for details.</o:p></p>\r
-<p class=MsoPlainText>\r
-<o:p> Note, \r
-the opensm.exe process must continue to run in order to maintain Infiniband \r
-fabric configuration. Should the opensm.exe process die, restart \r
-opensm.exe in order to continue correct fabric operation. For more subnet \r
-management information, consult the OpenFabrics Windows manual.</o:p></p>\r

-<h2><u>How to Install</u></h2>\r
-<h3>Requirements</h3>\r
-<p>Install HCA hardware prior to installing the OpenFabrics Release package. \r
-Upon reboot, ignore/cancel any attempts to install new device hardware.</p>\r
-<p>If you have previously installed openib-windows, OpenFabrics Windows \r
-packages or vendor supplied Infiniband packages, uninstall them prior to installing this version of OpenFabrics \r
-Windows.</p>\r
-<p>openib-windows uninstall:</p>\r
-<ol>\r
- <li>Disable any Local Area Connections which are bound to the IPoIB network \r
- adapter.</li>\r
- <li>Uninstall the IPoIB driver - My computer->Manage->Devices->Network \r
- Adapters->IPoIB*</li>\r
- <li>Uninstall the Infiniband HCA device.</li>\r
-</ol>\r
-<p>Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs-> OpenFabrics \r
-Windows->Remove.</p>\r
-<p>REBOOT - ignore any attempts to install drivers for newly discovered PCI \r
-devices.</p>\r
-<p>Upon reboot, 'My Computer->Manage->Device Manager' should display '?Other \r
-Devices->?PCI \r
-device' which is your HCA device.</p>\r
-<h3>Install</h3>\r
-<blockquote>\r
- <p>From a login with administrator privileges, double-click the \r
-OpenFabrics_arch_setup.exe file to begin the OpenFabrics installation; where '_arch_' \r
-can be (_x64_ for amd64 or Intel EMT64 systems, _x86_ for x86 compatible systems \r
-or _ia64_ for Intel IA64 systems). </p>\r
