Installing the Operating System 4-13

Installing and Configuring Device Drivers

Follow these steps to install and configure the device drivers.

Network Driver

Specify the details of network driver.

The standard network drivers will be installed automatically, but the link speed and Duplex mode need to be specified manually.

For each network controller:

1.Click Start menu and click [Network and Dial-Up Connection]. The [Network and Dial-Up Connection] dialog box appears.

2.Right-click [Local Area Connection] and click [Properties] from pop-up menu. The [Local Area Connection Properties] dialog box appears.

3.Click [Configure].

The property dialog box for network adapter appears.

4.Click [Advanced] and specify the same [Link Speed & Duplex] value as specified for HUB.

5.Click [OK] on the property dialog box for network adapter.

6.Click [OK] on the [Local Area Connection Properties] dialog box.

Also, add or delete protocols and services as required. Perform these actions from the property dialog box of the local area connection under [Network and Dial-up Connection].

NOTE: We recommend that you add [Network Monitor] under [Adding Services]. [Network Monitor] can monitor frames (or packets) that this computer sends or receives. It is a valuable tool when analyzing network trouble. For information on how to install the [Network Monitor], see the "Setup for Problem Resolution" later in this document.
