To install the SCSI drivers at the same time you are installing Windows NT, use the following procedure:

1.If you have not already done so, use the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD to create the Windows NT SCSI and video controller drivers diskette.

NOTE: If you have a RAID controller installed, you may have a RAID driver dis- kette included with your shipment. If so, use that diskette as noted during this procedure. If not, use the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD to create the RAID driver diskette.

2.Boot from the Microsoft Windows NT Server CD.

NOTE: In the following step, there is no prompt to press <F6>. Watch the messages on the screen carefully.

3.Press <F6> immediately when the following message is displayed:

6HWXS￿LV￿LQVSHFWLQJ￿\RXU￿FRPSXWHU®V￿KDUGZDUH￿

FRQILJXUDWLRQ￿￿￿

This disables automatic detection of SCSI devices by Windows NT. The following message appears:

A menu offers options for using a driver diskette or not specifying a device.

4.Press <s> for the Specify Additional Device option. A list of supported SCSI host adapters appears.

5.Select Other and press <Enter>.

6.Insert the Windows NT driver diskette or the RAID controller driver diskette into the diskette drive and press <Enter>.

NOTE: Do not install video drivers at this time. They must be installed after Win- dows NT Service Pack 3.0 is installed.

7.Select the host adapter from the list.

For the AIC-7890 and AHA-2940U2W host adapters, select Adaptec AHA-294xU2/295xU2/AIC-789x PCI Ultra 2 SCSI Controller (NT 4.0).

For the AIC-7860 host adapter, select Adaptec AHA-290x/291x/294x/394x/ 494x/AIC-78xx PCI SCSI Controller (NT 4.0).

For the RAID controller, select PowerEdge RAID II NT Driver or other RAID driver.

8.Press <Enter>.

The driver is copied from the diskette to your system.
