install the SystemSURE USB Smart Cable device driver. The device
driver should be installed when you install the SureTrend software.
(see section

). However, if needed, you can follow the
instructions below to install the SystemSURE USB Smart Cable
device driver.

Insert the Smart USB cable into an available USB port on
your computer. If the cable is already connected to your

running Windows 7 or a later version, you can search the
Microsoft Windows Update site for the device drivers.
