2. Install the THGm card in your system. This requires opening the case of your
computer, inserting the card in an available PCI slot, and closing the case of
your computer. Refer to the THGm Hardware Installation Guide and your
computer’s documentation for instructions.
3. Secure the network connectors to the THGm, RJ-45 for 10/100Mbps Ethernet
or SC-type fiber optic for 1000Mbps Ethernet (optional – connection to the
network may be performed after card installation is complete).
4. Power up your system. Windows will detect the new card and display the
“New Hardware Found” message. Windows will then prompt for
configuration software with the
Update Device Driver Wizard
window. Click the
Next
button to continue.
CAUTION
If the “New Hardware Found” window does not display, then the
hardware detection process was unable to find your adapter. The driver
can only be installed for Plug'n'Play adapters when the hardware can be
detected. Please consult your Windows manual for possible reasons for
this occurrence before contacting
Finisar
Technical Support.

button to find the Ethernet Driver directory

ww_w2000.inf
.

Update Device Driver Wizard
window will appear with the name of the
driver. Click the

found directly on the hard drive in the
C:\windows\system

C:\windows
directory without using the CDROM.
9. Install Surveyor software and reboot your system.
