Windows NT 4 Setup
Unike Windows releases, Windows NT & 2000 supports a Dual Processing
environment. Therefore if you wish to obtain extra performance from your system
using a second processor Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 is a better platform.
Please note that currently Microsoft will only support AGP & USB functions
when the operating system is Windows 95 OSR2.1 (or newer), Windows 98, or
Windows NT 5.0 (a.k.a. Windows 2000). These operating systems are pro-
grammed to support AGP functions using separate independent VxD miniport
drivers from VGA drivers, through API. However, under Windows NT 4.0 the AGP
functions are not defined in the API. Therefore if an AGP card is used in the
system it will function equivalent to PCI performance.
1:
Install Windows NT 4 and HighPoint HPT370 driver for UltraDMA100/
RAID controller.
Follow Microsoft directions for installation. To properly
install Windows NT with the HPT370 driver we recommend using the disk
install method only. Do not install using a bootable CD-ROM.
When Windows NT setup starts up press the <F6> function key. When
prompted specify and additional driver. Insert the HPT370 driver disk and
install the driver following the onscreen prompts.
During Windows NT 4 installation the setup program will detect the computer
type. For both single and dual processing configurations the board should use
MPS Multiprocessor PC.
After completion of Windows NT installation we suggest installing Service
Pack 3 or above from Microsoft.
2:
Install VIA Service Pack (VIA 4 in 1).
This utility updates Microsoft operat-
ing systems so that they may properly identify and configure the latest VIA
Apollo Pro133A AGPset.
Use the included autorun driver CD-ROM and select
VIA Service Pack (VIA 4
in 1).
Install only the IDE/Atapi Bus master component. Uncheck all the rest of
the components as they are not supported under Windows NT.
