Using Windows Nt 3.51 To Install Or Update The Driver; Installing Or Updating The Driver With Windows Nt 3.51 - Dell 6100 User Manual

•
If you are installing from a CD-ROM drive,
make a backup copy of the Windows NT Setup
Disk 1 for CD-ROM Installation diskette.
2. Put the backup diskette into drive A, and turn on
your system. When prompted, insert the Windows
NT Setup Disk 2 diskette.
3. From the Welcome to Setup screen, press
<Enter> to set up Windows NT.
4. When prompted for the setup method, select Cus-
tom and press <Enter> to continue.
5. Insert the Windows NT Setup Disk 3 diskette when
prompted to do so.
After a period of time, Windows NT Setup displays
all recognized SCSI controllers. If no SCSI control-
lers are found, Windows NT Setup displays none.
6. Press <S> to configure additional SCSI
controllers.
7. Expand the list of additional SCSI controllers,
select Other, and press <Enter>.
The Other option is at the end of a long list of SCSI
controllers and is highlighted.
8. Insert into drive A the Windows NT 3.51 driver
diskette you created, enter the following path to
the installation files, and then click OK.
a:\scsi
9. The screen displays the adapter drivers sup-
ported on the diskette. The Adaptec AHA-2940/
AIC-78 xx (PCI) NT 3.51 driver is highlighted by
default; press <Enter> to select this driver.
10. If you want to add other SCSI controllers (not
part of the Adaptec 78 xx series), do so at this time
by repeating steps 7 though 9 for each additional
adapter, inserting the appropriate diskette
provided by the hardware manufacturer. Because
all Adaptec 78 xx series SCSI controllers use the
same driver, you configure all Adaptec SCSI con-
trollers at the same time.
11. Press <Enter> to continue with the Windows NT
operating system setup. Follow the instructions
on the screen and in the Windows NT installation
documentation.
Using Windows NT 3.51 to Install or
Update the Driver
This section describes how to install or update the
aic78xx.sys driver if Windows NT 3.51 is already
installed. If you are installing Windows NT 3.51 for the
first time, see "Installing Windows NT 3.51 and the
Driver" earlier in this section.
Installing or Updating the Driver With Win-
dows NT 3.51
Follow these instructions only if Windows NT 3.51 is
already installed:
1. Select and start the Windows NT Setup program.
(Its icon is usually found in the Main program
group.) There is a brief pause while Windows NT
Setup scans your hardware configuration.
2. Select the Options pull-down menu, and then
select Add/Remove SCSI Adapters. The SCSI
Adapter setup program displays a list of all host
adapters currently installed.
If you are installing the driver for the first time, go to
step 5.
If you are updating the driver, continue to step 3.
3. Before you can update the driver, you must first
remove the existing driver. Select the host adapter
you want to remove (for example, the Adaptec
AIC-78 xx SCSI controller), and click Remove.
When the Windows NT Setup program asks you
for confirmation, click OK.
Because SCSI device drivers are loaded during sys-
tem start-up and because they may be needed to load
Windows NT itself, the following warning message
may appear:
Removing SCSI Adapters may prevent
Windows NT from starting correctly.
4. When you are sure you are removing the correct
host adapter driver, click OK.
5. Click Add to add another host adapter type to the
list. A list of additional SCSI adapters appears.
6. Expand the list of additional SCSI adapters;
select Other and press <Enter>.
