manufacturers instructions regarding the removal of PCi bus
adapter cards from the PC.
There is generally no need to remove the device driver files ( .sys file ) or the device
information files ( .inf files ).
If there are no longer any installed RP550/BP550 controllers installed then Windows
2000 will not load the driver. However, the driver files will remain installed on the
system’s hard disk.
At a later time the RocketPort 550 or RocketPort/BroadPort 550 Universal controllers
can be re-installed and the computer restarted. During boot, Windows 2000 will detect
the RocketPort 550 or RocketPort/BroadPort 550 Universal controllers and load the
drivers.
There is generally no need to remove the device driver from the system.
