7.3 Installation
The AIMB-556 Gigabit integrated controller supports all major network
operating systems. However, the installation procedure varies with differ-
ent operating systems. In the following sections, refer to the one that pro-
vides the driver setup procedure for the operating system you are using.
Note: Before installing the LAN drivers, make sure the INF
