AT-2874SX Gigabit Ethernet Fiber ExpressCard Installation and User’s Guide
28
Overview
When you physically install the AT-2874SX ExpressCard, the Windows
operating system detects a new hardware and may install an inbox,
Marvell, or Allied Telesis driver software for your ExpressCard. You must
uninstall the driver that was automatically installed before installing the
proper Allied Telesis driver software.
Note
If you install the proper Allied Telesis driver without uninstalling the
existing driver, your system displays unsupported options of the
Speed & Duplex, Wake on Magic Packet, and Wake on Pattern
Match properties. See “Speed & Duplex” on page 64, “Wake on
Magic Packet” on page 75, and “Wake on Pattern Match” on
page 76 for more information.
If your system is Windows 8, you must uninstall the driver before installing
the proper Allied Telesis driver software because Windows 8 automatically
installs an inbox driver.
Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 do not come with an inbox
driver for the AT-2874SX ExpressCard; however, the system may install a
driver automatically if the Windows operating system was updated or a
Marvell or Allied Telesis driver already resides in the system. If Device
Manager lists your ExpressCard as a Marvell or Allied Telesis device, you
must uninstall the driver before installing the proper Allied Telesis driver.
To install driver software, do the following:
1. Access the Device Manager to check whether a driver is automatically
installed. See “Accessing Device Manager” on page 30.
If your AT-2874SX ExpressCard is listed as an Ethernet Controller,
skip step 2 and go to step 3. When no driver is installed, the Windows
operating system lists an adapter as an Ethernet Controller.
2. Uninstall the driver software that was automatically installed. See
“Uninstalling Driver Software” on page 36.
3. Download the setup file from the Allied Telesis website. See
“Downloading the Setup File” on page 38.
4. Install driver software by executing the setup program. “Executing the
Setup Program” on page 39.
