l The Roll Back Driver feature of Windows Server (available on the Adapter Properties dialog's
Driver tab) will not work correctly if an adapter team or Intel PROSet are present on the sys-
tem. Before you use the Roll Back Driver feature, use Intel PROSet to remove any teams,
then remove Intel PROSet using Programs and Features from the Control Panel of Win-
dows.

not supported. Please download the latest driver package from the support website.
Before installing or updating the drivers, insert your adapter(s) in the computer and plug in the network cable.

with the operating system.
If found, the driver is installed without any user intervention. If Windows cannot find the driver, the Found New
Hardware Wizard window is displayed.

install the driver. Drivers for all Intel adapters supported by this software release are installed.
