Installing the Broadcom Drivers in Microsoft
Windows
To install the Broadcom driver package (NetXtreme version 10.5 or later and
NetXtreme II version 3.5 or later), run the setup.exe file that is provided by
Dell™ with the driver package. The Broadcom installer installs all of the
available package features by default. The setup.exe file can be accessed by
any of the following methods:
•
•
•
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com
®
On the Broadcom Driver Installation CD that shipped with your system,
the setup.exe file is located in the Driver_Management_Apps_Installer
subdirectory under the directory of the version of Microsoft Windows you
are using.
In Common Deploy and Update (CDU), the Broadcom driver package
and setup.exe are located on the Service Mode CD.
If you have downloaded the Broadcom driver package from
support.dell.com, uncompress the downloaded file and locate the
setup.exe file in the extracted directory. The setup.exe file is the preferred
method for installing the drivers on a local system. However, if you need to
install the drivers using the Windows Plug and Play method, you can
extract the drivers from the installer file by running setup.exe /a and
specifying a directory for the extracted files.
