Note
You must physically install a network device driver before the 
Broadcom NetXtreme II Controller can be used with your Windows 
Operating System. There is no installation CD. You must download 
the drivers from the Allied Telesis website at 
www.alliedtelesis.com/support/software. After you have 
accessed this website, enter the model number in the Search by 
Product Name box and then click Find to view the current list of 
documents and drivers.
Note
To use the TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE), you must have Windows 
Server 2003 with Service Pack 2 (SP2) and a license key 
preprogrammed in the hardware. If supported, for iSCSI you only 
need a license key.
Using the 
Installer
Please read the following information before installing the driver:
 Microsoft Windows 2003 has a Found New Hardware Wizard that 
starts automatically whenever a new device, such as a new network 
adapter, is detected by the operating system. Do not run the wizard. If 
the wizard starts, click Cancel to stop it.
 Other Microsoft Windows Operating Systems do not have wizards but 
will attempt to install the driver automatically. These processes should 
be cancelled. Only the installer should be used to install the driver.
Note
Do not use any Microsoft Windows wizards to install the driver. All 
wizards and informational boxes should be closed or cancelled 
before running the installer.
The Installer has a graphical interactive installation mode. To install the 
AT-2973SX, AT-2973T, AT-2973T/4, and AT-VNC10S drivers on a 
Windows Operating System, do the following:
1. From the driver directory, select the setup.exe file and Run.
