Information

 

 

 

Windows NT

 

When Windows NT is installed using a bootable CD, the devices on the

Installation

 

MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 are not recognized until after the initial reboot. The

 

 

Microsoft documented workaround is in SETUP.TXT, which is on the CD.

 

 

Perform the following steps to install drivers when Setup recognizes a

 

 

supported SCSI host adapter but doesn’t make the devices attached to it

 

 

available for use:

 

 

1.

Restart Windows NT Setup.

 

 

2.

Press <F6> to prevent Windows NT Setup from performing disk controller

 

 

 

detection when Windows NT Setup displays the following:

 

 

 

Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration...,

 

 

 

This allows you to install the driver from the drivers disk you created. All

 

 

 

SCSI adapters must be installed manually.

 

 

3.

Press <S> to display a list of supported SCSI host adapters when Windows

 

 

 

NT Setup displays the following:

 

 

 

Setup could not determine the type of one or more mass storage

 

 

 

devices installed in your system, or you have chosen to

 

 

 

manually specify an adapter,

 

 

4.

Select Other from the bottom of the list.

 

 

5.

Insert the drivers disk you made when prompted to do so and select Mega-

 

 

 

RAID from this list.

 

 

 

In some cases, Windows NT Setup repeatedly prompts to swap disks.

 

 

 

Windows NT will recognize any devices attached to this adapter.

 

 

6.

Repeat this step for each host adapter not already recognized by Windows

 

 

 

NT Setup.
