Chapter 7: Installing the Windows Drivers
90
Note
You must physically install a network device driver before the
Broadcom NetXtreme II Controller can be used with your Windows
Operating System. There is no installation CD. You must download
the drivers from the Allied Telesis website at
www.alliedtelesis.com/support/software. After you have
accessed this website, enter the model number in the Search by
Product Name box and then click Find to view the current list of
documents and drivers.
Note
To use the TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE), you must have Windows
Server 2003 with Service Pack 2 (SP2) and a license key
preprogrammed in the hardware. If supported, for iSCSI you only
need a license key.
Using the Installer
Please read the following information before installing the driver:
Microsoft Windows 2003 has a Found New Hardware Wizard that
starts automatically whenever a new device, such as a new network
adapter, is detected by the operating system. Do not run the wizard. If
the wizard starts, click Cancel to stop it.
Other Microsoft Windows Operating Systems do not have wizards but
will attempt to install the driver automatically. These processes should
be cancelled. Only the installer should be used to install the driver.
Note
Do not use any Microsoft Windows wizards to install the driver. All
wizards and informational boxes should be closed or cancelled
before running the installer.
The Installer has a graphical interactive installation mode. To install the
AT-2973SX, AT-2973T, AT-2973T/4, and AT-VNC10S drivers on a
Windows Operating System, do the following:
1. From the driver directory, select the setup.exe file and Run.
