Installing the Driver Software
NOTE: These instructions are based on the assumption that your Broadcom NetXtreme adapter was not factory installed. If
your controller was installed at the factory, the driver software has been installed for you.
When Windows first starts after a hardware device (such as a Broadcom NetXtreme Adapter) has been installed, or after the
existing device driver has been removed, the operating system automatically detects the hardware and prompts you to install
the driver software for that device.
Both a graphical interactive installation mode (see
) and a command-line silent mode for unattended
installation (see
) are available.
NOTES:
Before installing the driver software, verify that the Windows operating system has been upgraded to the latest version
with the latest service pack applied.
A network device driver must be physically installed before the Broadcom NetXtreme Controller can be used with your
Windows operating system. Drivers are located on the driver source media as well as at the Dell website at
BACS is not supported on the Server Core installation option for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2.
