Note: The GA302T Copper Gigabit Adapter must be physically installed in your

“Hardware Installation” for details.
Installing the Driver Software
When the Windows XP system first boots up after installing a new hardware device,
such as a GA302T Copper Gigabit Adapter, the system automatically detects the new
hardware and prompts you to install the driver software for the device.
A network driver must be installed before the GA302T Copper Gigabit Adapter can
be used with your Windows XP system. You must have Network Administrator
privileges to install the driver software.
