previousproject)

5. ConnectNewadapterandconfigure the IP’s.
If you did not firstuninstall the oldadapterfromWindowsthenyoucan still doitat thistime from
device manager.Youwill howeverhave toenable Windowstoshow nonpresentdevices.Ihave
foundthat youcan do thisfromDevice Manager inWindowsServer2012 withoutanyextrasettings,
but forolderWindowsversionsyoumightfirstneedtosetan environmentvariable:
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
Thenstart Device Managerand fromthe View-menuselectShow hidden devices.Youcanthensee
and uninstall the oldadapter.
