This section provides information about installing the Dell drivers for the Microsoft
Windows NT 4.0 operating system.
NOTE: Use these procedures only if you did not use Server Setup from the Dell Open-
Manage Server Assistant CD to install your operating system.
To install the IDE CD-ROM driver, perform the following steps:
1. Boot from the
Microsoft Windows NT Server
CD, and press <F6> when the first
Windows NT Setup screen appears.
This action disables automatic detection of devices.
2. Load the IDE CD-ROM driver.
Type s to select the Other option. Insert the driver diskette into drive A, and
select IDE-CD-ROM ATAPI 1.2 PCI IDE Controller from the list of drivers.
3. Press <Enter> and continue with the setup.
This section provides the information that you need to install and use the Dell SCSI
drivers for the 78
xx
series of SCSI controllers with Windows NT.
The Windows NT 4.0 driver diskette that you create for the Microsoft Windows NT
Server operating system contains the files that you need for driver installation. The
scsi subdirectory on the diskette contains the following files to be used with
Windows NT:
adpu160m.sys — Adaptec's 7899 Ultra3 driver for Windows NT
oemsetup.inf — A file used by Windows NT Setup for driver installation
readme.txt — A text file describing the Adaptec 78
xx
driver for Windows NT
If you are installing Windows NT for the first time, see the next section “Installing Win-
dows NT and the Driver for the First Time” to begin driver installation. If Windows NT is
already installed in your system, see the section “Using Windows NT to Install or
Update the Driver” found later in this chapter.
Windows NT 4.0 has SCSI drivers for the Adaptec 78
xx
series of SCSI controllers
integrated into the operating system. When you load the operating system software,
the drivers are automatically loaded. However, Dell recommends that you update
the adpu160m.sys driver by using the diskette of drivers that you created from the
Dell OpenManage Server Assistant
CD. To install or update the adpu160m.sys driver
for Windows NT 4.0, see the next subsection.
