Installation
The Escalade Storage Switch may be configured to be your sys-
tem’s boot device. Or, you can use another device such as a disk
attached to the motherboard as your boot device. Use your system’s
Setup utility to set the boot order according to how you install your
operating system.
If you are installing additional drives to a Windows NT system with
an existing Escalade Storage Switch, follow the instructions in:
Adding drives to an existing storage switch (page 47).
If Windows NT has not been installed on the system, follow the
instructions in either of the following sections (note: use of a boot
floppy diskette may be required by some systems):
Installing the storage switch and Windows NT 4.0 (page 48).
If you are installing the Escalade Storage Switch on a system that
already has Windows NT installed on a drive connected to another
switch, follow the instructions in:
Installing the storage switch on systems that boot from a differ-
ent device (page 52).
If you are replacing an installed Escalade Storage Switch with a
new one, follow the instructions in:
Replacing an existing storage switch with a new version of the
switch (page 54).
Note:
Windows NT 4.0 driver requires Service Pack 4 or
later. Also, you cannot install the driver or the operating
system without having system administrator privileges.
