7. Installation under Windows NT
7 .1 General Information
Windows NT has a built-in standardised SCSI interface that allows you to adapt
your specific hardware to the different SCSI hostadapters. Hardware adaptation is
done by driver „DC2964.SYS“ located in the „\WINNT95“ directory on your installation
diskette. The device drivers required for running CD-ROM or removable disk drives
etc. are part of the Windows NT operating system providing an automatic setup
procedure which much facilitates the installation process. Windows NT differentiates
between two installation methods:
- SCSI hostadapter installation during installation of Windows NT. This method is
deployed when the boot disk or the CD-ROM drive containing the Windows NT
installation CD is connected to your SCSI hostadapter.
- Separate installation of your SCSI hostadapter on a fully configured Windows NT
system. You can choose this installation method also when first installing
Windows NT if the devices connected to your SCSI hostadapter are not required
for installation.
7.2 Installation During Windows NT Installation
First install Windows NT as described in the manual and keep your SCSI driver
diskette ready. Should you not work with the original diskette make sure that the disk
you are using contains the file TXTSETUP.OEM in the root directory and all other
Windows NT file in the „\WINNT“ subdirectory. In the course of Windows NT
installation the installer gives you the option to set up additional SCSI hostadapters.
Insert your SCSI driver diskette into drive A: when prompted for it. The setup program
displays the exact name and type of your SCSI hostadapter and asks you to press
ENTER to confirm the information. Afterwards it installs your SCSI hostadapter.
7.3 Separate Installation
Run the SCSI Adapter utility from Windows' Control Panel and activate the
Drivers tab. On this tab first click on Add and then on Diskette. You will then be
requested to insert the driver disk into the drive and specify the appropriate directory.
If you are using the original driver diskette, the files required for installation are located
in the "\WINNT" subdirectory.
If the specified drive and directory are not correct, Windows will default to
automatic installation of your SCSI hostadapter. Should Windows NT have recognised
your SCSI hostadapter and installed the appropriate driver automatically, we still
recommend using the driver contained in the host adapter package. In this case you
would have to uninstall the driver at this point by selecting the driver and clicking on
the Delete button. Restart Windows NT so that you can access the connected devices.
