Select the adapter you have installed in your server (in this example, the IBM PC ServeRAID adapter), and press Enter.

Setup then returns you to the panel showing all the currently selected adapters (Figure 59). You may repeat the process in selecting additional adapters until you have finished the mass storage device selection process.

Windows NT Server Setup

=======================

Setup has recognized the following mass storage devices in your computer:

Adaptec AHA-294X-394X/AIC-78XX SCSI Controller

IBM PC ServeRAID Adapter

*To specify additional SCSI adapters, CD-ROM drives, or special disk controllers for use with Windows NT, including those for which you have a device support disk from a mass storage device manufacturer, press S.

*If you do not have any device support disks from a mass storage device manufacturer, or do not want to specify additional mass storage device for use with Windows NT, press ENTER.

If all the required adapters and devices are displayed, then press Enter to continue; otherwise press S and to repeat the mass storage device selection process as shown above.

5.3.4 Potential Errors Detecting Disk Controllers

There are typically two possible reasons why unexpected messages occur at this point:

1.No controllers or the wrong disk controllers listed.

If you have additional or other mass storage device adapters installed in your server, you should supply any driver diskette supplied by the manufacturers; otherwise, the installation process could fail. In addition, it is a good idea before starting the installation process to check the location (path) of the device drivers on the diskette.

Some manufacturers provide the drivers and the OEMSETUP.INF file on the diskette′s root directory, others in a subdirectory usually called NT for the

Windows NT device drivers.

2.Incorrect installation diskettes used.

There are two possible sets of three installation diskettes that can be built by running a program from the CD-ROM:

a.ªInstall from CD-ROMº diskettes, using the commandWINNT /OX

b.ªInstall from Networkº diskettes, using the commandWINNT /X

In this section, we are installing from the NT 4.0 CD-ROM, so the command WINNT /OX (or WINNT32 /OX if running it from an existing Windows NT system) should be used. If you use the /X switch when you wish to install from the
