Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Compatibility Guide Version
1.3
Overview
NIC
Drivers and Operating Systems
The drivers that are required for a particular network interface controller (NIC)
depend on the operating system that is installed on your system. Table
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 ."
To determine required drivers for NIC systems management, locate your NIC
manufacturer in Table 1 and the operating system that is installed on your
system.
In Table
1 , "NA" indicates that the driver
is supplied by the operating system rather than by the manufacturer of the NIC.
