Intel(R) IMB Driver for Microsoft* Windows* Readme

The Intelligent Management Bus (IMB) driver is used by Intel(R) System Management 
Software to monitor and control aspects of server health and operation.  The driver 
may also be used by standalone management software from Intel such as the Intel 
SNMP Sub-Agent and Intel One Boot Flash Update utility.  The driver included in 
this update is for use under Microsoft Windows operating systems.  This is an 
update to the existing driver currently included in Intel Server Management 
software.  This driver may also be used as a replacement for the Microsoft Windows 
2003 R2 native IMB driver.  Replacing the Windows 2003 R2 IMB driver with this 
update provides full functionality for Intel System Management Software and other 
applications that may be using the IMB driver installed by Windows.  The following 
sections give steps to install or replace the existing IMB driver.
