To update the driver software, use the same procedure for installing the driver software for the first time. The only difference between updating and installing the driver software is the name of your adapter that Device Manager detects and lists.

Device Manager lists your adapter card as Allied Telesis AT-2701FxXv2 100Mb Fiber Ethernet once you installed the driver software. Before you installed the driver software, Device Manager lists your adapter as Ethernet Controller or a Realtek device. To obtain the latest driver software from the Allied Telesis website, see “Downloading the Driver Software for Windows” on page 35.

The procedures for installing the driver software are slightly different among Windows operating systems. To install the driver software on your system, follow one of the procedures below:
