Installing Windows NT 4.0 and the
Driver
The Windows NT 4.0 operating system has SCSI drivers
for the Adaptec 78xx series of SCSI controllers integrated
into the operating system. When you load the operating
system software for the first time, the drivers are auto-
matically loaded.
If Windows NT 4.0 is already installed and you wish to
install or update the aic78xx.sys driver, see the next sub-
section, “Using Windows NT to Install or Update the
Driver.”
Using Windows NT to Install or Update
the Driver
This section describes how to install or update the
aic78xx.sys driver if the Windows NT 4.0 operating sys-
tem is already installed.
Installing or Updating the Driver With
Windows NT 4.0
Follow these instructions only if the Windows NT 4.0
operating system is already installed:
1.
Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then
click the Control Panel.
2.
Double-click the SCSI Adapters icon.
3.
Click the Driver tab, and then click Add.
4.
Click Have Disk.
5.
In the Copy Manufacturer’s Files From: field,
type
a:\scsi\
and click OK.
6.
Select Adaptec AHA-294x/AHA-394x/AHA4944
or AIC-78xx PCI SCSI Controller (NT 4.0). Then
click OK.
7.
If the following message appears, click New to
replace the existing driver:
The driver(s) for this SCSI Adapter are
already on the system. Do you want to
use the currently installed driver(s)
or install new one(s).
8.
If the following message appears, type
a:\scsi\
in the dialog box and click OK:
Please enter the full path to Adaptec’s
installation files.
These files are located in \SCSI on the
Dell Windows NT 4.0 Driver diskette.
The driver is copied from the diskette to your
system.
9.
Click Yes when prompted to restart the system.
After the system reboots, the new driver is active. Some
drive letter assignments may have changed from the pre-
vious configuration.
Removing a Host Adapter
Removing a PCI expansion-card SCSI controller is as
simple as physically removing it from its slot when your
computer is shut down. The Windows NT operating sys-
tem boots and functions properly in this configuration,
but a warning message is generated every time you boot
the operating system.
To eliminate the warning message, you must update the
Windows NT software configuration as follows:
1.
Select and start the Windows NT Setup program.
There is a brief pause while Windows NT Setup
scans your hardware configuration.
2.
Select the Options pull-down menu, and then
select Add/Remove SCSI Adapters.
The SCSI Adapter setup program displays a list of
all host adapters currently installed.
3.
Select the host adapter you want to remove, and
click Remove. When the Windows NT Setup pro-
gram asks you for confirmation, click OK.
Because SCSI device drivers are loaded during sys-
tem start-up and because they may be needed to load
the Windows NT operating system itself, a screen
CAUTION: If you have removed a host adapter
but still have other host adapters of the same type
installed in your computer, do not use Windows NT
Setup to remove the device driver.
