7.4.2 Before Installing Windows NT

Before installing Windows NT, ensure that you have completed the following tasks:

•In the Setup section of the bios use the Time and Date option to verify the correct time and date. (see Section 7.2.4).

Note: Some programs look at the dates on all files on the system to determine if their license is expired or not. If the date and time are not set correctly before installation some programs may not run.

•Determine the type of drives installed in your system. You can do this by looking at the main ARCSBIOS screen. In the drive section, in the adapter column you will see a list of the SCSI busses. Note what SCSI bus your hard drives and CD- ROM drive are on. Next locate the host adapter entry for each bus. They have HA in the type column. Read the description in the model column.
