Completing a Fresh Windows NT 4.0 Installation

SY-D6IBA2Quick Start Guide

Note: If you are installing an Ultra2 SCSI host adapter such as the AHA-2940U2W, you cannot select Express setup, because the aic78u2.sys driver is not embedded. Selecting

Express setup loads the embedded driver aic78xx.sys included with Windows NT which is for Ultra SCSI adapters only.

5Press [S] to skip mass storage device detection. This allows you to manually select the driver for your host adapter.

6Since mass storage device detection was skipped in the previous step, Windows NT Setup displays none in the list of recognized devices. Press [S] to configure additional SCSI adapters.

7From the list of additional SCSI adapters, expand the list, select [Other], and press [Enter] requires disk provided by a hardware manufacturer.

8Insert the Adaptec 7800 Family Manager Set diskette for Windows NT into drive A and press [Enter].

The screen displays the adapter drivers supported on the diskette. For Window NT 3.5x, the following is displayed:

Adaptec AHA-290x/291x/294x/4944/AIC-78xx PCI SCSI Controller (NT 3.5x) or

Adaptec AHA-294xu2/AIC-7890/91 PCI Ultra2 SCSI Controller (NT3.5x)

9Highlight the driver and press [Enter].

10To add other host adapters that are not a part of the 7800 Family, do so at this time by repeat from step 7 for each additional adapter and insert the appropriate driver disk. The Adaptec 7800 Family host adapters use the same driver; it is not necessary to install the driver again.

11Press [Enter] to continue with the Windows NT operating system setup. Follow the instructions given onscreen and in the Windows NT installation documentation.
