2. Extracting the driver files to the PC’s hard disk
Using Windows Explorer, locate the self extract file.
If you have a Comtrol supplied CD then open the folder \Win2000 (on the CD) then
double click the file Win2Kdrv.exe
( If you have downloaded the driver from Comtrol’s web site then you should open the
folder containing the downloaded self extract file. NOTE: The filename may differ
from the above. )
The self extractor dialog will appear. The default target folder (for the extracted files)
is C:\Comtrol\Installations\RP550W2K and will be displayed in the ‘Unzip to
folder’ box
You may change the target folder as you wish, but note that the remainder of this
document
assumes that the extracted driver files are located in
C:\Comtrol\Installations\RP550W2K. If you have changed the target folder you
must remember to specify this path when required during installation.
Now that the files are extracted, you should shutdown Windows 2000 in preparation for
installing the RocketPort 550, RocketPort 550 Universal or BroadPort 550 Universal
controller(s) into the PC.
3. Installing Your Controller hardware
Take care when you handle the RocketPort/BroadPort 550 cards, like any electronic
device, they are sensitive to static electricity. Use normal static precautions such as
wearing an earth ground strap. The original RocketPort 550 PCi controllers are installed
in 32bit 5V PCI slots. The RocketPort 550 Universal & BroadPort 550 Universal cards
can be installed in 3.3V or 5V 32 Bit PCI slots.
Hardware Installation

Follow the host PC manufacturer instructions describing how to access the PC in order
to install additional cards.
You may install up to 4 controllers in one PC.
