Network Interface Controllers and
Supported Operating Systems
Overview
The drivers required for a Network Interface Card (NIC) depend on the
operating system installed on your system.
Table 9-1 shows the relationship between NICs supported by Dell™
OpenManage™ Server Administrator and the drivers that they require on
each supported operating system.
For a list of Server Administrator supported operating systems, see the tables
in "Server Administrator Supported Applications and Systems."
NOTE: See Table 1-1 for information on where you can find the systems
management software.
NIC Drivers and Operating Systems
To determine required drivers for NIC systems management, locate your NIC
manufacturer in Table 9-1 and the operating system that is installed on your
system.
In Table 9-1, "NA" indicates that the driver is supplied by the operating
system rather than by the manufacturer of the NIC.
