Once you have installed the SeaI/O Classic software, install the board into an available PCI Express slot and
boot the computer. The Found New Hardware wizard will appear. The drivers that were installed during the
software installation process will automatically be used to configure the adapter.
The following instructions are applicable to the Windows XP operating system and may vary depending on
your version of Windows. If you are using the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system, the installation is
automatic.
