Installing the USB Driver

This process explains how to install the SMBus to USB interface driver. 

The driver supports Microsoft Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 operating systems. 

Note

: If you installed the driver or certificate previously, skip this section.

1. Open the installation wizard package.

2. Navigate to 

USB-SMBus Driver

. Right-click the 

SMBus-USB-Win10.inf

 file and select 

Install

.

Note:

 Install the driver from the local drive. The driver installation fails due to network security if you install from 

the network drive.
