Before installing the network adapter:
If your OS is Windows NT 4.0, go into the BIOS setup and set PnP OS field to NO.
If your OS is Windows 98 2nd edition, go into the BIOS setup and set PnP OS field to
YES.
If your OS is Windows 2000 Professional, go into the BIOS setup and set PnP OS
field to YES.
If your OS is Windows NT4.0 and Wake on LAN capability is needed, go into the
BIOS setup and enable power-up when a specific command is received by the
Network Interface.
For all OS, remove any previously installed network adapter (usually located in slot
#5) if it is not needed.
Installing the network adapter in slot #4 is recommended. HP has tested this
installation procedure using slot #4.
For advanced users only: In case of resource conflict, you can try to change the
resources for the network adapter. To do this, turn the Vectra system power off,
remove the network adapter and install it into a different PCI slot.
