Installation Requirements
4 English
NT Service Pack
If an NT service pack is already installed on the PC, it must be re-
installed after the card and software have been installed. When
using the HP preloaded NT 4.0 software, the latest service pack can
be found in the C:\I386\SP
x
directory.
On some platforms you also have to reinstall certain drivers after
you install the Service Pack. Refer to your PC documentation for
more information.
Operating System Master Diskettes
During the software installation you will need to have your
operating system master diskettes or CD-ROM available.
When using HP preloaded operating system software, the master
files can be found in the following directories:
• C:\I386 (Windows NT 4.0)
• C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS (Windows 95 and Windows 98)
Remote Wake-Up and Remote Power-On Support
Your network interface card provides features that allow other
network users to:
• Wake up your PC from Standby mode – Remote Wake-Up.
• Start it up when it is shutdown – Remote Power-On.
In terms of hardware, you normally need to connect a cable
between the network card and the PC’s system board. This cable is
known as a Wake-on-LAN cable and it connects to the Remote
Wake-Up (often marked as WOL) connectors. Some recent PCs
implement a new standard of the PCI socket for the network card.
This new socket eliminates the need to use the Wake-on-LAN cable.
Connecting the cable in a PC that doesn’t need it should not cause
any problems but it is not recommended.
For either approach you will need to configure your PC’s BIOS using
the Setup program to enable the network features.
