Upgrading an Existing System
NOTE
If you have already installed a SmartRAID VI controller into
your system and want to change drivers, refer to the Adding to
an Existing System section instead of this procedure.
To upgrade an existing Windows NT 4.0 system to a SmartRAID VI
controller, follow the steps below:
1.
From the Control Panel, select the SCSI Adapters icon. Then
select the Drivers tab and click Add.
2.
Insert the DPT Windows NT diskette, then click Have Disk.
3.
Select DPT I2O SCSI Adapter Driver for NT 4.0 and greater.
4.
After the driver is loaded, shut down the system. Replace the
existing controller with the DPT SmartRAID VI controller.
5.
Boot the system.
6.
If you are removing the old DPT controller, you should also
remove the old driver.
