The drivers that are required for a particular Network Interface Card (NIC) depend on the operating system that is installed on your system.
Table 9-1 shows the relationship between NICs supported by Server Administrator and the drivers that they require on each supported operating system.
For a list of Server Administrator supported operating systems, see "Introduction."
NOTE: Starting with Dell OpenManage 4.3, the Dell OpenManage Systems Management CD has been replaced by the Dell™ PowerEdge™ Installation and Server Management CD. References in this guide to the Systems Management CD are for Dell OpenManage releases 3.0 through 4.2.
NIC Drivers and Operating Systems
To determine required drivers for NIC systems management, locate your NIC manufacturer in Table 9-1 and the operating system that is installed on your system.
In Table 9-1, "NA" indicates that the driver is supplied by the operating system rather than by the manufacturer of the NIC.
