Chapter 3Installing Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Server

NOTE

Do not try to install Windows NT 4.0 via booting from the

 

Windows NT CD-ROM. This method of installation does not

 

work properly on most servers. The installation procedure will

 

prompt you to insert the Windows NT CD-ROM at a later

 

time.

 

 

PHASE 1 – Drivers Installation

1.Insert the Windows NT Setup/Boot Diskette #1 and boot the system.

2.Replace the diskette when prompted and press Enter.

3.Once under Windows NT Server Setup menu, press Enter to continue.

4.Press Enter to launch the automatic detection of mass storage device. It will detect the IDE CD-ROM and propose the appropriate driver.

5.If you have a SCSI model:

a.Press S to to specify additional SCSI adapters. The Windows NT installer will display a scrolling list of options.

b.Press Enter to select the default option "Other (Requires Disk provided by a hardware manufacturer)".

c.When prompted to insert the "Manufacturer-supplied hardware support disk", insert the HP Server tc2110 Windows NT SCSI driver (HP disk NT SCSI) into floppy drive then press Enter.

d.Press Enter to select the "Adaptec Ultra160 Family PCI SCSI controller".

6.""Ensure that both the PCI SCSI (if applicable) and CD-ROM IDE controllers are properly detected by checking the status at the top of the screen. The installation will not be successful if these two drivers are not properly installed.

7.If you have any more mass storage device drivers to install, you may do so at this time by pressing S.

8.When completed, press Enter to continue.

PHASE 2 – Hard Drive Preparation

1.Press Enter to continue if you are warned about your hard disk containing more than 1024 cylinders. Your HP system can indeed handle this correctly.

2.Press C when prompted, to continue with the installation.
