Software Requirements of Ethernet PCI Adapters

†Each dual-port Ethernet PCI adapter appears as two adapters in PROSet, Device Manager, and My Network Places.

‡ If you install the AK533 attach ment kit in an Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz system, the maximum number of Ethernet PCI adapters will be the same as in an Express5800/320Ma 3.6 GHz system.

Software Requirements of Ethernet PCI Adapters

Ethernet PCI adapters require the following software:

•sragbe.sys Ethernet driver

The Express5800/320Ma System Software initial program load (IPL) installs this driver for all 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet adapters supplied by NEC Solutions (America), Inc. PnP (Plug and Play) Manager recognizes the driver and loads it automatically.

This Ethernet driver has an addedsurprise removal feature to increase fault tolerance. The surprise removal feature prevents system crashes in the event that a PCI adapter is removed without software notification to the system.

N O T E S

1.Using any other driver will invalidate the Express5800/320Ma 100% Availability Terms and Conditions. For information about the Express5800/320Ma 100% Availability Terms and Conditions, contact your representative.

2.To upgrade a driver, contact NEC Technical Support or your authorized Service Representative.

•Intel(R) PROSet for Wired Connections utility, Version 9.0

The Express5800/320Ma System Software IPL installs this utility automatically. Use PROSet to configure and troubleshoot Ethernet PCI adapters.

N O T E

Do not attempt to upgrade PROSet to a newer version of this software available directly from Intel. If you install a version of PROSet that is not qualified and released by NEC Solutions (America), Inc., its installation procedure will change the Express5800/320Ma default properties for Ethernet PCI adapters.
