Setting Up The Hardware In Windows; Setup The "Add New Hardware Wizard - Contec EAD(LPCI)SF User Manual

2. Setup

Setting up the hardware in Windows

Upon startup of Windows, the switch fabric devices used by the expansion adapter and the expansion
chassis are detected as a PCI-to-PCI Bridge and Other PCI Bridge Device in sequence. PCI-to-PCI
Bridges are recognized automatically by a Windows standard driver but Other PCI Bridge Devices are
not supported by any Windows standard driver. Therefore the Other PCI Bridge Device requires an INF
file before it can be recognized correctly.
(Note that the expansion chassis works normally even without the INF file.)
For setting up and checking the boards used on the expansion chassis, refer to their respective manuals.

Setup the "Add New Hardware Wizard"

When the INF file is not used
(1) The "Add New Hardware Wizard" will be started.
Select the "Install the software automatically [Recommended]" and then click on the "Next" button.
