2.5.4.4Installing Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 on a Pass-through Disk or another Storage Device

This procedure installs Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 on a pass-through disk or another storage device. It is typically used on a system where the operating system is on a disk not controlled by SRCU31. Have all hardware and software on hand. See system requirements in Section 2.5.4.2.

SRCU31 Hardware Installation

Install the hardware before continuing with this installation. See Section 2.5.2.3.

Intel Integrated RAID Software Installation

1.If you are installing Microsoft Windows NT Server on a Pass-through Disk go to step 2. If you are installing Microsoft Windows NT Server on another storage device, then go to step 3.

2.Create a pass-through disk. Once step a is completed, return to this procedure to install the operating system.

a.Create a pass-through disk and select it as the boot device. Using the RAID Configuration Utility (see “How to Invoke Advanced RCU” on page 2-19for more information) create a pass-through disk and select it as the boot device (see “Custom Configuration” on

page 2-12for more information on creating a pass-through disk). The operating system will be installed on this disk. You may choose to create more than one pass-through disk at this time.

3.Run the latest virus scan on on any existing volumes and any downloaded diskettes used for installation.

4.Install the following required software components. If you are installing Microsoft Windows NT Server on a Pass-through Disk, go to step a. If you are installing Microsoft Windows NT Server on another storage device, then ensure the CD-ROM drivers are detected during installation and then go to step b.

a.Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0

Select the scenario below (1 or 2) that matches your installation to complete the Microsoft Windows NT SCSI diskette miniport driver installation.

Warning: The miniport driver is a temporary driver used for installation only. Once NT is running, you must install the permanent RAID device drivers using the SRCU31 CD-ROM.

1.If you are installing NT with boot disks (booting from diskettes initially to setup NT), during install let NT detect the storage devices in your system. When device detection is complete, select S to specify additional storage devices, then select Other. Insert the Microsoft Windows NT installation diskette in the floppy drive. Press Enter to select the I2O Miniport Driver and continue with the NT installation. Go to step b.

2.If you are installing NT without boot disks, (for example, you are booting with the NT Server CD-ROM), press F6 as soon as the blue screen appears to ensure that the Microsoft Windows NT installation diskette can be loaded when specifying Other

Diskettes. Otherwise, the NT installation program will not load the I2O Miniport Driver from the Microsoft Windows NT installation diskette. When device detection is complete, select S to specify additional storage devices and then select Other. Insert the Microsoft

Windows NT installation diskette in the floppy drive. Press Enter to select the I2O Miniport Driver and continue with the NT installation. Go to step b.

b.During Windows NT installation install the following components:
