Installing the Array1000xA Driver for Windows NT

This section explains how to install the Adaptec Array1000xA

Miniport Driver ( cda1000.sys ) for Windows NT. To begin driver

installation, see either Installing the Driver When Installing Windows

NT below, or Installing the Driver When Windows NT is Already

Installed on page 5-4.

Note:

We recommend that you install your Windows NT

operating system on an array to take advantage of the

redundancy and performance features of the array.

Note:

If your system: 1.) is RAIDport I or II equipped; AND 2.)

has an Adaptec AHA

requires driver Disk B (as determined by the Array1000xA

BIOS & Driver Selection Utility), see Using the ARO-1130SA

with an AHA-294x, AHA-3940, or Other AIC-78x0 Based Host

Adapter and Driver Disk B (Windows NT Only) on page B-2 for

instructions on installing the Array1000CA Miniport Driver.

To install the cda1000.sys driver when you are installing Windows

NT, follow these steps:

Note:

If you have multiple arrays, we recommend tempo-

rarily powering off all devices except for the boot array

before installing Windows NT; otherwise, Windows NT lim-

its the size of the partitions you can create to 1 GByte. When

Windows NT installation is complete, power on all devices

and reboot the system.

Start your system with the Windows NT Boot Diskette in the

floppy drive or the Windows NT Boot CD-ROM in the

CD-ROM drive.
