- As the instrument begins to boot, press the F2 key on the keyboard repeatedly until the message "Loading SETUP" appears.
- In the BIOS Setup Utility use the right-arrow key on the keyboard to highlight the Advanced menu at the top of the screen.
- Use the arrow down key to highlight Peripheral Configuration in the Advanced screen, and then press Enter.
- Use the arrow down key to highlight LAN Device or "Embedded Ethernet Controller" in the Peripheral or "PCI" Configuration screen, and then press Enter.
- Use the arrow up or down key to highlight Enabled and then press Enter.
- Press the F10 key to save and exit. Confirm the Save of Configuration changes when you are prompted on screen.
- Use the Windows network setup utility to define the instrument as a network client and configure it for your network. You can find the network setup utility in the Windows Start menu if you select Settings > Control Panel and then double click Network.
