- Update the Driver

- Remove the Adapter

| NOTE: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 for 64-Bit Extended Systems runs on platforms with Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel® EM64T). The adapter driver available from the installer is compatible with Intel EM64T. It is not compatible with 64-bit Intel® Itanium®-based systems.

## Install the Driver

Before installing the driver, insert the adapter in the computer and plug in the network cable. When Microsoft Windows Server 2003 for 64-Bit Extended Systems discovers the new adapter, it attempts to find a compatible driver already installed with the operating system. If found, it is installed without any user intervention. However, this driver may not be most current one. This scenario is called Installation Scenario A.

If the operating system does not find a compatible driver, it starts the Found New Hardware Wizard. This scenario is called Installation Scenario B.

### Installation Scenario A

Windows Server 2003 for 64-Bit Extended Systems finds an acceptable driver that provides at least basic functionality. The driver installation occurs without prompting you for any information or action.

It is important to update the driver. Updating the driver ensures that you have access to all the adapter features.

### Installation Scenario B

Windows Server 2003 for 64-Bit Extended Systems cannot find an acceptable driver. The Found New Hardware Wizard begins:

1. If you are installing drivers from the Product CD, insert the CD. If you do not have the Product CD, download drivers from the support website and transfer them to the system.

2. In the Found New Hardware Wizard screen, click Next.

3. The necessary files are copied to your computer. The wizard searches for the drivers. When the drivers are found, the wizard displays a Completed message.

4. Click Finish.

5. Optional: If you want to use the Intel® PROSet software to configure advanced settings, set up teams and VLANs, and use other features, start the autorun located on the CD. Click Install Software on the Autorun screen.

If Windows does not detect the adapter, follow the instructions below.

1. Download the drivers and software from the support website. Transfer these downloaded files to the system.

2. In the Found New Hardware Wizard screen, choose the option to search in a specific location. Click Next.

3. Enter the path to the location of the downloaded files. Click Next. The necessary files are copied to your computer. The wizard displays a Completed message.

4. Click Finish.

### Tips for Installing Drivers More Easily in the Future

When you install drivers next time, review tips for installing the drivers more easily.

## Installing Additional Adapters

To install additional adapters or more than one adapter, follow the instructions below.

1. Insert the Product CD. The autorun program starts.
   If you downloaded drivers from the support website, browse to the directory containing the downloaded files and run autorun.exe.

2. Click Install Base Driver. A message telling you that a reboot is required on Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 systems.

3. Click OK to install all base drivers.

## Advanced Settings for an Adapter

To view or change advanced settings for your driver/adapter, use Intel PROSet. Advanced settings vary by adapter, and are described in the Intel PROSet Help.

| CAUTION: Only expert users or network administrators should change advanced settings. You may severely affect your adapter's operation by changing a parameter to a value that is not compatible with your network.

## Update the Driver

You can update drivers using either the Product CD or the Update Device Driver Wizard.

#### Updating with the Product CD

First, install the network adapter in the computer, connect the cable, plug in the power cord and start the computer. When Windows starts the Found New Hardware Wizard, cancel the Wizard. Follow these instructions:

1. Insert the Product CD. The autorun program starts.
   If you downloaded drivers from the support website, browse to the directory containing the downloaded files and run autorun.exe.

2. Click Install Base Driver. A message telling you that a reboot is required on Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 systems.

3. Click OK to install all base drivers.

#### Updating with the Hardware Update Wizard

1. Click Start -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management.

2. In the left pane, select Device Manager. A list of devices appears in the right pane.

3. In the right pane, open the Network adapters category. A list of network adapters is displayed.

4. Locate the Intel adapter. Right-click it and select Update Driver from the drop-down menu. The Hardware Update Wizard starts.

5. Select Install the Software Automatically (Recommended). Click Next.

6. Click Finish.

7. If you want to use the Intel PROSet software to configure advanced settings, set up teams and VLANs, and use other features, start the autorun located on the CD. Click Install Software on the Autorun screen.

If you are installing a driver in a computer with existing Intel adapters, be sure to update all the adapters and ports with the same new software by repeating the steps above for each new adapter. This procedure ensures that all adapters function correctly.

## Removing the Adapter

Before you remove the adapter, make sure the adapter is not a member of a team or VLAN. If the adapter is a member of a team or VLAN, remove the adapter from the team or VLAN in Intel PROSet. To remove the adapter from a team or VLAN:

1. Open Intel PROSet from the Control Panel or the System Tray..

2. If the adapter is part of a team, right-click the adapter name and select Remove from Team.

3. If the adapter is part of a VLAN, right-click the VLAN listing and select Remove VLAN.

4. Right-click the adapter you wish to remove.

   | NOTE: If this step is not performed, upon restart this will result in a "phantom adapter" (driver, registry association, but no physical adapter).

5. From the drop-down menu, select Remove Adapter.

6. Click OK to close Intel PROSet.

If you perform these instructions out of order, it is likely that you will encounter a phantom adapter. The driver and registry association exist, but there is no physical adapter.

### Step 1: Uninstall Intel PROSet

You do not need to uninstall Intel PROSet unless you are permanently removing all Intel adapters. You uninstall Intel PROSet using either the Intel CD or the Add-Remove Programs.

#### Uninstalling Intel PROSet with the Product CD

1. Insert the Product CD. The autorun program starts.

2. Click Install Software. The InstallShield Wizard screen displays.

3. Click Next. The Program Maintenance dialog displays.

4. Click Modify. The Custom Setup dialog displays.

5. Click the icon next to the feature you want to remove. From the pop-up dialog, click Do not install this feature. Click Next.

6. Click Install.

7. Click Finish.

The installer removes Intel PROSet from the computer.

#### Uninstalling with Add-Remove Programs

1. Click Start -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs. The Add-Remove Programs window displays.

2. Select Intel(R) PROSet. Click the Remove button.

3. When the confirmation message displays, click Yes.

4. Allow the uninstall process to complete.

| NOTE: Intel recommends you uses this method to uninstall base drivers.

### Step 2: Uninstall the Driver

It is recommended that you uninstall the base driver if you are permanently removing Intel adapters or if you need to perform a clean installation of new drivers.

1. While the Add-Remove Programs dialog is open, select Intel PRO Ethernet Adapter and Software. Click Change/Remove.

2. When the confirmation message displays, click Yes.

3. If prompted, restart the computer.

| NOTE: Creating an Express Team automatically installs any adapters that were uninstalled but still physically present in a system.

| NOTE: If you uninstall a port of an adapter that is associated with an Express Team, the Express Team will be removed.
