pre-installed full prole bracket with the included low prole installation bracket may
be necessary.

Driver Installation
Windows XP/Server 2003/Vista/Server 2008 R2
1. After installing the card into the computer system, boot up the computer.
2. Once logged into Windows, the Hardware/Driver installation wizard should appear.
Insert the Driver Installation CD into the CD/DVD drive when prompted.
3. Windows should automatically start to search the CD for the appropriate drivers.
This may take several minutes.
4. Once Windows has located the drivers and installed them, the card should be ready
for use.
Windows 7
No driver installation is required for Windows 7, as the controller card is natively
supported, so the drivers are already installed.
