Installation Requirements

The HP LAN accessory kit is supported by HP Vectra VE4 PCs and Kayak XA, XU and XW PC Workstations, running the following operating systems (in English, French, German, Spanish or Italian):

•Windows 95 (all models except Kayak XW, Kayak XU 6/266 FastRAID and Kayak XU 6/300 FastRAID)

•Windows NT 4.0 (all models)

The HP LAN card installation program supports a maximum of one LAN card only per PC. If you want to install the HP LAN card in a PC which already has a LAN card installed, you must install the HP LAN card software manually. Information on how to do this is included in a readme.txt file on one of the drivers diskettes in the kit (the PC’s operating system determines which diskette contains the appropriate readme.txt file).

Only one HP integrated LAN card is supported per PC. This is because HP PCs have only one External Start connector on the system board.

The PC must be able to boot from the diskette drive. This feature is configured in the HP PC Setup utility, which is accessed by pressing during the PC’s startup routine. The location of the setting in the HP PC Setup utility is typically Security➜Boot Devices Security➜Start from Floppy.

NT Service Pack If an NT service pack is already installed on the PC, it must be reinstalled after the HP LAN card and software is installed.

For NT4.0 systems, the HP LAN card installation program does not work on Danish, Dutch, Italian or Norwegian systems where NT service pack 2 (SP2) is already installed. Service pack 3 (SP3) or higher must be installed before the HP LAN card installation program is run.
