Installing Windows 95
(Retail Upgrade – Version 950a)
SmartRAID V controllers are not supported by Windows 3.1, therefore an
upgrade process from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95 does not apply. However,
the Retail Upgrade Version (950a) can be installed like a new operating
system if you have your original Windows 3.1 diskettes.
Follow the installation instructions in the Installing Windows 95 (OEM SR2
950b) section of this chapter. During the first phase of the installation the
Windows 95 installation program will prompt you to insert your original
Windows 3.1 disk to verify your eligibility for the upgrade. After the
upgrade is authenticated , the process continues as a normal installation
on a new system.
Adding SmartRAID V to an Existing Windows 95/
98 Configuration
This section describes the steps to install a SmartRAID V controller to an
existing Windows 95/98 configuration. Ensure that your hard drives,
arrays, CD-ROM drive, and any other SCSI device attached to the
controller are recognized by SMOR before proceeding.
Do the following to install a SmartRAID V controller in an existing
Windows 95/98 system:
1. Install the SmartRAID V controller in the system and start
Windows 95/98. If Windows prompts for a driver to support a PCI
Card or Memory Controller), go to step 7.
2. If Windows did not discover the devices during boot, start Device
Manager (Control Panel – System) and look for a PCI Card entry in
the Other Devices category. There may be multiple entries if you
have multiple SmartRAID V controllers installed. There may also
be an entry for PCI Memory Controller.
NOTE If you are not prompted for a PCI Card or Memory Controller
Driver, open the Device Manager. If Device Manager displays
PCI Card with a yellow exclamation mark in the Other
Devices list, you might need a patch for your motherboard
chipset to recognize multifunction bridge controllers.
