Install Windows NT
NOTE
Windows NT must be installed from floppy disks, not the CD, so that the mass storage
drivers will be loaded correctly. If you have not created a set of Windows NT boot
floppy disks, see Software in part "1 What's Needed" of the installation guide supplement
for additional information.
1.
Insert the boot floppy disk for Windows NT4.0 and exit Navigator to reboot the server.
2.
When Windows NT Setup prompts to detect mass storage devices, skip detection and manually specify
the mass storage drivers:
The drivers are loaded from the NT 4.0 Drivers floppy disk you created from the Navigator CD.
First, load the driver for the device you want to boot from. For drives in the LH 4 internal bays this
will normally be the embedded SCSI Symbios driver or embedded NetRAID.
Secondly, load the IDE driver, since the CD drive is on the IDE bus.
Finally, load any other mass storage drivers you need. If you are using the Fibre Channel HBA for
shared storage do not load the HP Fibre Channel driver at this time. It will be loaded later.
3.
Continue the installation using floppy disks#2 and #3 and select the following options when prompted:
Choose the unpartitioned space and install Windows NT.
Choose NTFS file system
When prompted to search for a Network Adapter, load NIC drivers for both the intra-cluster and the
client LAN. Be sure to load the correct intra-cluster LAN driver version as specified in the
HP NetServer Installation Guide
