3. Installation
In this chapter we will discuss how to set up an Xpect server. Before continuing, please make sure you
have read the §2. Pre-installation considerations and have selected a suitable PC for use with Xpect.
The two installation steps are discussed in the following sections.
3.1 Hardware installation
The table below lists the hardware installation steps
# Action Description
1 Install driver(s) prior to inserting
DekTec interface cards
 Download the latest version of the DekTec Dta1xx driver
(
Dta.zip
) and/or Dtu2xx driver (
Dtu.zip
) from the DekTec
website
( http://www.dektec.com/Downloads/DriversSDKs.asp );
 If you will be using PCI/PCIe cards extract the ‘
Dta.zip
’
file and
 Run the Dta driver installation program (‘
DtaInstall.exe
’)
using the ‘Run as Administrator’ option;
 If you will be using USB-2 adapters extract the ‘
Dtu.zip
’
file and
 Run the Dtu driver installation program (‘
DtuInstall.exe
’)
using the ‘Run as Administrator’ option;
 Continue to step 2
2 Insert DekTec interface cards in
target PC
 Power down the PC;
 Open the PC housing;
 Carefully insert each DekTec card in PCI/PCIe slots;
 Close PC housing;
 Continue to step 3
3 Boot PC to complete driver
installation
 Power-up the PC;
 Shortly after logging on, the “Found New Hardware
Wizard” should pop-up to indicate Windows has found
new hardware;
 Choose “Install the software automatically
(Recommended)”;
 Press “Next” and “Finish”, and the driver installs;
 If you have fitted multiple cards this process may be
repeated several times;
 Now your hardware should have been installed
successfully and you are ready to move on to the
software installation phase.
NOTE: In the above steps we are assuming the driver(s) will be installed prior to inserting the DekTec
interface cards. It is also possible to first insert the card in the PC, boot-up and then run the driver
installation. In this case the “Found New Hardware Wizard” will pop up again when you first boot the
PC, but you should close it at this stage and then run the driver setup programs as described in step 1.
