Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S/2200S Installation Guide
WindowsNT4.0
The following driver installation scenarios exist for
Windows NT 4.0:
■ Installing the Driver in a New System on page 3-8
■ Adding the Controller to an Existing System on page 3-9
Installing the Driver in a New System
In this scenario, you are installing an Adaptec SCSI RAID
controller and Windows NT 4.0 in a new system.
Note:
If Windows NT is to coexist with another operating
system, the other operating system must be installed before
you install Windows NT.
To install the driver:
1
Install and configure your Adaptec SCSI RAID controller and
hard disk drives according to the instructions in Chapter 2.
2
Start the system, pressing Ctrl-A to enter the BIOS-based
configuration utility. Use the configuration utility to create the
RAID array and logical drive to which you will install
Windows. For details, refer to Creating a RAID 5 Without an
Operating System on page 2-9.
3
When the array has been built and is finished building, restart
the system. Insert the Windows NT setup CD or disk as you
restart to begin the Windows installation.
4
Early in the Windows installation, a screen with white text and
a blue background appears after the hardware detection
message, when it appears, press F6
. If you miss pressing F6 in
time, you will need to restart the system.
Note:
You only have 5 seconds to press the F6 key during the
installation startup. Press
F6
at this time; otherwise, you
must restart the Windows installation process to complete
this procedure correctly. Windows will not be able to
recognize the controller and array without the driver.
