Installation Overview
There are four steps to the NIC installation:
1 Run the preinstallation program before installing the
NIC in the PC.
The preinstallation program prevents conflicts with the NIC
and your operating system. It guides you through the NIC
installation and must be run before you physically install
the NIC in the PC.
2 Install the NIC in the PC.
3 Connect the NIC to the network.
4 Install the network driver.
