Compaq DS20E - AlphaStation - 1 GB RAM User Manual page 175

If Windows NT was installed at the factory, Windows NT setup will start
automatically the first time the system powers up.
NOTE: Steps 1 and 2 in the following procedure are necessary only when you are
first setting up your system. On subsequent installations and upgrades,
begin at step 3.
Read these instructions carefully paying particular attention to step 5.
1. Use CMOS Setup to set the system date and time: start AlphaBIOS Setup,
select CMOS Setup, and press Enter.
2. Perform an express hard disk setup: return to the main AlphaBIOS Setup
screen, select Hard Disk Setup, and press Enter.
3. Put the Windows NT CD into the CD-ROM drive.
4. Start AlphaBIOS Setup, select Install Windows NT, and press Enter.
5. Windows NT 4.0 Setup incorrectly believes that it recognizes and supports the
unused onboard AIC-7895 SCSI controller and will load its driver unless it is
prevented from doing so. Your system's CD-ROM is connected to a SCSI
controller on the PCI bus and its driver must be loaded. To prevent the loading
of the driver, quickly press F6 when the Windows NT banner displays
WRONG
(blue screen). If Windows NT autodetects the AIC-78xx and F6 was not pressed
at the right time, start over again. For further information, see the Windows NT
4.0 readme.txt file.
6. To select the appropriate driver:
a. Insert the AlphaServer DS20 Windows NT floppy into the floppy drive.
b. If step 5 was successful, Windows NT Setup will announce that it cannot
determine the type of one or more mass storage controllers, press 'S' to
specify an additional controller.
c. From the list, choose "Other." The floppy's list will appear.
d. Choose the "Adaptec AIC-78xx PCI SCSI Controller (NT4.0)."
Follow the prompts to complete the installation. For more information on installing
Windows NT, refer to the Installation Guide in your Windows NT software package.
