Installing the Array1000SA Driver for Windows NT
This section explains how to install the Adaptec Array1000SA
™
Miniport Driver (
cda1000.sys
) for Windows NT. To begin driver
installation, see either Installing the Driver When Installing Windows
NT below, or Installing the Driver When Windows NT is Already
Installed on page 4-4.
Note:
We recommend that you install your Windows NT
operating system on an array to take advantage of the
redundancy and performance features of the array.
Installing the Driver When Installing Windows NT
To install the
cda1000.sys
driver when you are installing Windows
NT, follow these steps:
Note:
If you have multiple arrays, we recommend tempo-
rarily powering off all peripherals except for the boot array
before installing Windows NT; otherwise, Windows NT
limits the size of the partitions you can create to 1 GByte.
When Windows NT installation is complete, power on all
peripherals and reboot the system.

Start your system with the Windows NT Boot Diskette in the
floppy drive or the Windows NT Boot CD-ROM in the
CD-ROM drive.
Note:
To install Windows NT from a bootable
CD-ROM, make sure BIOS Support for Bootable
CD-ROM is enabled in SCSISelect.
