Installing The Driver When Windows Nt Is Already Installed - Adaptec AIC-7890 User Manual

AIC-7890 Ultra2 Wide SCSI Host Adapter User's Manual
1. Install the driver for the 7800 Family host adapter by
following the steps in Installing the Driver when
Windows NT is already Installed.
It is not essential to remove the device driver for the
host adapter you are replacing. Windows NT
dynamically detects the absence or presence of host
adapter hardware, and no problems should arise if
you leave the existing device driver installed. You may
remove the device driver later, after you have
successfully rebooted Windows NT. However, if you
leave the driver installed, the system alerts you with an
error message of the extra device driver every time
you boot. See Removing a Host Adapter.
2. Once the new device driver is installed, shut down
Windows NT and replace the existing host adapter
with the 7800 Family host adapter.
3. Restart your computer and Windows NT. It is possible
that some drive letter assignments may change from
the previous configuration.
