3ware Escalade ATA RAID Controller User Guide
Q13: I am experiencing problems when I try to install the ATA
RAID controller with a server that has been configured with a
floppy-based version of Windows NT 4.0. What is going on?
Beginning with version 1.08.00.008 of the Windows NT driver,
there is an additional installation step needed when installing a
Escalade ATA RAID Controller with Windows NT 4.0. If you are
installing Windows NT 4.0 with the ATA RAID controller using the
Windows NT 4.0 Setup diskettes, you must use a particular 3ware
installation diskette, which has the 3ware driver and an install.exe
program. This program installs an application, which provides shut-
down notification to our controller. A limitation with the Microsoft
floppy-based NT installation makes this extra step necessary.
Note:
CD-ROM this extra step is not needed.
Follow these additional instructions:
1 Install Windows NT 4.0 as documented in this manual.
2 Go to the Start menu, click on Settings and open the Control
Panel.
3 Complete all steps including those described in the section
labeled "Follow display instructions to complete Windows NT
4.0 installation" on page 72.
4 Perform the following steps:
a. Log on to Windows NT 4.0 as Administrator.
b. Insert the 3ware installation diskette with the install.exe pro-
gram into the floppy drive.
c. Choose Start > Run from the taskbar and enter the following
command: A:\INSTALL.EXE
Note:
into which you can type the command at a prompt.
