Installing Analyzer Hardware

2.Install the THGm card in your system. This requires opening the case of your computer, inserting the card in an available PCI slot, and closing the case of your computer. Refer to the THGm Hardware Installation Guide and your computer’s documentation for instructions.

3.Secure the network connectors to the THGm, RJ-45 for 10/100Mbps Ethernet or SC-type fiber optic for 1000Mbps Ethernet (optional – connection to the network may be performed after card installation is complete).

4.Power up your system. Windows will detect the new card and display the “New Hardware Found” message. Windows will then prompt for configuration software with the Update Device Driver Wizard window. Click the Next button to continue.

CAUTION

If the “New Hardware Found” window does not display, then the hardware detection process was unable to find your adapter. The driver can only be installed for Plug'n'Play adapters when the hardware can be detected. Please consult your Windows manual for possible reasons for this occurrence before contacting Finisar Technical Support.

5.Insert the Surveyor CD in the CDROM drive.

6.Use the Browse... button to find the Ethernet Driver directory

(<CDROM-drive-letter>\drivers) on the Surveyor CDROM. The name of the driver is ww_w2000.inf.

7.The Update Device Driver Wizard window will appear with the name of the driver. Click the Finish button.

8.The Finisar driver will be copied to the hard drive. Windows will request the Windows CDROM to install system files. Many of these system files can be found directly on the hard drive in the C:\windows\system and C:\windows directory without using the CDROM.

9.Install Surveyor software and reboot your system.

10.To verify installation, open the Surveyor software. The THGm analyzer card icon should appear under your local IP address.
