Installing Windows Server 2008 D-25
Network Driver
Specify the details of network driver.
Two standard network drivers that are mounted will be installed automatically, but the link speed and Duplex mode need to be
specified manually.
1. Open the [Device Manager]
2. Double-click [(Network Adapter Name)] in the list.
3. Click the [Link Speed] and specify the [Speed & Duplex] value the same as the value specified for HUB.
4. Click [OK].
Also, add or delete any protocols and services if necessary.
You can operate the process on the property dialog box for local area network which can be appeared from [Network and
Dial-up Connection].
NOTE: We recommend you to add [Network Monitor] at [Adding Services].
[Network Monitor] can monitor the frame (or the packet) that the computer installing [Network
Monitor] sends or receives. This tool is valuable when analyzing network trouble. For information
on how to install the tool, see the "Setting for Solving Problems" described later in this chapter.
Re-install the Network Driver
The network driver will be installed automatically.
Optional Network Board Driver
The following optional network boards are available: Intel Pro/1000 MF, Pro/1000 MT, Pro/1000 GT, Pro1000 PT.
To use the Intel Pro/1000 PT Adapter, see" Using Intel Pro/1000 PT Adapter after System Update" in the previous page.
The drivers for other network boards are automatically installed by Windows Plug-and-Play. You do not need to install them
manually.
Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT)/Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB)
Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) is a feature that creates a group containing more than one adapter and automatically converts
the process of the working adapter to the other adapter in the group when any trouble occurred on that adapter.
Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) is a feature that creates a group containing more than one adapter and enhances the
throughput by operating packet transmission from the server by all the adapters.
This feature includes AFT feature.
IMPORTANT:
 All the adapters specified as a group of Adapter Teaming must exist on the same LAN. If they
are connected to the separate switches,they will not work normally.
 The adapters specified as a group of Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) can be connected to only
Switching Hub.
 When exchange the mother board or option network card, make sure to remove the adapter
team before exchanges and recreate the adapter team after exchange complete.
