3) Run NT’s Setup program to add support for your SCSI interface board. Select

‘‘Add/Remove SCSI Adapters . . .’’ from the menu. Choose your SCSI inter-
face board from the list or, alternately, add the driver you obtained from your
SCSI interface board manufacturer.

4) Run the NT Control Panel and then run Devices. From the list of devices,

locate ‘‘Scsicdrom’’ and check the ‘‘startable’’ box. This procedure is fully
outlined in the Windows NT manual.

5) Reboot. Your 4PleX drive now should be visible to the system.

Windows NT 3.1 Troubleshooting Tip

If you have difficulty getting NT to recognize your CD-ROM drive and SCSI interface
board, you first should verify that all of your hardware is operating properly.

This is best done by installing DOS. If your system also does not work under DOS,
you probably have a hardware problem that needs to be resolved before you can go
any further. If your system works under DOS, but not NT, review your device driver
installation and verify that the SCSI interface board device driver and CD-ROM support
(step #4, above) are loaded correctly.
