Using Windows NT and the Host Adapter

This section contains useful information on using Windows NT and
your host adapter.

Removing a Host Adapter

Removing a host adapter can be as simple as physically removing it
from the slot when your computer is shut down. Windows NT boots
and functions properly in this configuration, but a Warning message
is generated every time you boot Windows NT.
Caution:
If you have removed a host adapter but still have
!
other host adapters of the same type installed in your
computer, do not use Windows NT Setup to remove the
device driver.
To eliminate the Warning message, you must update the Windows
NT software configuration, as described below:
Removing a Host Adapter in Windows NT 4.0
1
From the Control Panel, double-click the SCSI Adapters icon.
2
Click the Drivers tab.
3
Using the arrow keys select the following driver:
Adaptec 29160(N), 39160, AHA-3960D, AIC-7892/7899
Ultra160 PCI SCSI Controller (NT 4.0)
4
Click the Remove button.
5
If you are sure you are removing the correct host adapter type,
click Yes.
6
Click Yes to restart the computer and initialize changes. Click
No to return to the SCSI Adapters window.
Note:
Windows NT Setup does not delete the device driver
from your system disk; it only updates Windows NT
software configuration information so that the device driver
is no longer loaded during system bootup.
