Note
If you acquired the adapter software on floppy disk or from the Allied
Telesyn support website, enter the path to where the adapter driver
files reside on your system.
4. If your system is active, shut it down.
5. When system shut down is complete, power OFF and unplug your
system.
6. Holding the adapter card by the edges, remove it from its shipping
