Overview of the Installation Procedure
CAUTION Make sure that you read the section entitled “Installation
Requirements” on the previous two pages before you install the HP LAN
card and software.
Installing the HP LAN card is a 4-stage process. You need to:
1 Carry out the pre-installation steps.
2 Install the HP LAN card.
3 Update fields in the HP PC Setup utility.
4 Carry out the post-installation steps.
Pre-installation The pre-installation stage involves:
• Running the HP LAN setup program.
• Re-starting the PC to update the BIOS. The installation program
performs this task automatically.
You must carry out the pre-installation before you physically install the
HP LAN card in the PC.
Installing the HP LAN
Card This is when you physically install the HP LAN card in a free PCI slot in
the PC. You can install the card in a minitower or in a desktop model.
Updating LAN-Specific
Fields in the HP PC
Setup Utility You need to check that all the LAN-specific fields in the HP PC Setup
utility are correctly set to enable the HP LAN card to function.
Post-installation During this stage, the installation program performs a number of checks
on the PC and, if necessary, updates some software components before
letting the operating system install the HP LAN drivers.
