100Base-TX operation requires the use of Category 5 UTP cable with
an RJ-45 network connection.
The device drivers for the network controller enable the drivers to
load correctly in the operating system used, allowing communication
with the network.
Device drivers are supplied for the Microsoft Windows 2000 and
Windows XP operating systems, depending on the computer model.
If you are using another operating system, device drivers may be
installed from media included with the network operating system or
are available from Compaq. If reinstallation of the operating system
ever becomes necessary, use the Compaq Restore Plus! CD.
