Uninstalling the Driver Software

78

Overview

When you no longer use the AT-2701 series adapter card for your 
computer, you may want to uninstall the driver software from your 
operating system.

As you can install driver software for the AT-2701 series adapter card 
using Device Manager or the silent installation method, you can also 
uninstall driver software in two ways:

“Uninstalling the Driver Software Using Device Manager” on page 79

“Uninstalling the Driver Software Silently” on page 80

Guidelines

Here are the guidelines to uninstalling the driver software from your 
system:

You must have Administrator privileges to remove the driver 
software.

Before uninstalling the Allied Telesis device, capture all of the 
Advanced Property settings for later use. The properties are lost 
during the uninstall process.
