Installation for Windows NT Server 3.51
Overview
This section provides the information needed to install
and use the Dell SCSI drivers for the 78xx series of SCSI
controllers with the Windows NT 3.51operating system.
The Windows NT 3.51 driver diskette you create for the
Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51 operating system
contains the files needed for driver installation. The \scsi
3-6 Dell PowerEdge 6100/200 System User's Guide
subdirectory on the diskette contains the following files
to be used with Windows NT 3.51:
•
aic78xx.sys — Adaptec's 78xx Family driver for
Windows NT
•
oemsetup.inf — A file used by Windows NT Setup
for driver installation
•
readme.txt — A text file describing the Adaptec
78xx driver for Windows NT
If you are performing a first-time Windows NT 3.51
installation, see the following subsection, "Installing
Windows NT 3.51 and the Driver," to begin driver
installation. If Windows NT 3.51 is already installed in
your system, see "Using Windows NT 3.51 to Install or
Update the Driver" later in this section.
Installing Windows NT 3.51 and the
Driver
This section describes how to install the aic78xx.sys
driver at the same time you install Windows NT 3.51. If
Windows NT 3.51 is already installed and you wish to
install or update the aic78xx.sys driver, see "Using Win-
dows NT 3.51 to Install or Update the Driver," later in
this section.

Follow these instructions only if you are installing
Windows NT 3.51 for the first time. You can install
Windows NT 3.51 from a diskette drive or from a
CD-ROM drive; whichever you choose, make sure the
hardware installation is completed prior to following
these steps.
NOTE: An older version of the aic78xx.sys driver is
included in the Windows NT installation diskettes (or on
the CD-ROM). To avoid loading the older driver during
Windows NT installation, use the following procedure to
install the new driver included on the driver diskette you
create from the Dell Server Assistant CD.
