Installation Requirements
Installation Requirements
Supported Platforms The HP LAN accessory kit is supported by HP Vectra VE4 PCs and
Kayak XA, XU and XW PC Workstations, running the following
operating systems (in English, French, German, Spanish or Italian):
• Windows 95 (all models except Kayak XW, Kayak XU 6/266
FastRAID and Kayak XU 6/300 FastRAID)
• Windows NT 4.0 (all models)
Number of Network
Cards Supported
The HP LAN card installation program supports a maximum of one LAN
card only per PC. If you want to install the HP LAN card in a PC which
already has a LAN card installed, you must install the HP LAN card
software manually. Information on how to do this is included in a
readme.txt file on one of the drivers diskettes in the kit (the PC’s
operating system determines which diskette contains the appropriate
readme.txt file).
Only one HP integrated LAN card is supported per PC. This is because
HP PCs have only one External Start connector on the system board.
Booting/Starting from
Diskette Drive
The PC must be able to boot from the diskette drive. This feature is
configured in the HP PC Setup utility, which is accessed by pressing
during the PC’s startup routine. The location of the setting in the HP PC
Setup utility is typically Security
➜Boot Devices Security➜Start from
Floppy.
NT Service Pack If an NT service pack is already installed on the PC, it must be re-
installed after the HP LAN card and software is installed.
For NT4.0 systems, the HP LAN card installation program does not
work on Danish, Dutch, Italian or Norwegian systems where NT service
pack 2 (SP2) is already installed. Service pack 3 (SP3) or higher must
be installed before the HP LAN card installation program is run.
