Installing the Driver Software

A network driver must be installed before the card can be used with your Windows 98 system.

Note: The Gigabit Ethernet card must be physically installed in your system prior to installing the driver software. See Chapter 2 “Hardware Installation,” for details.

When the Windows 98 System first boots up after installing a new hardware device, such as a GA621 Fiber Gigabit Ethernet Card, the system automatically detects the new hardware and prompts you to install the driver software for the device.
