Boot Partition; Windows Nt Setup Utility; Bustech Scsi Controller; Windows Nt Installation Tips - HP D7171A - NetServer - LPr Installation Manual

If the DAT drive is attached to the embedded SCSI controller, be sure to remove the
DAT drive SCSI terminator; the SCSI cable is self-terminated. Refer to the DAT drive
manual for instructions on removing the terminator.

Boot Partition

If the system boots from the Disk Array controller, ensure that the first logical drive
created by the JetSet Utility is 2048 MB or less. The embedded SCSI controller and
the HP NetRAID Adapter have an 8 GB limit for the boot partition.

Windows NT Setup Utility

Windows NT Setup is a great tool for verifying device configuration and driver version
in case of disk array or SCSI problems

BusTech SCSI Controller

The BusTech SCSI controller autoloads its own ASPI layer and can have only one.
Thus, it is incompatible with the bundled SCSI controller.

Windows NT Installation Tips

HP strongly recommends that you use only devices that are on the Microsoft
Windows NT Hardware Compatibility List.
You must use Windows NT drivers ONLY.
Drivers from other operating systems such as Windows 3.1 or DOS will not work.
The most important issue with Windows NT arises when you are using an EISA/PCI
server and have an ISA adapter to install. You must have a *.CFG file for any
adapter installed in the EISA backplane regardless of the adapter type (ISA cards
included). Although the server does not require you to have a CFG file for each ISA
adapter, Windows NT does. Windows NT looks at the EISA CMOS upon installation
and configures itself from that. If you do not have a CFG file for an ISA adapter you
have three options:
1. Get a *.CFG file from the manufacturer.
2. Get an EISA or PCI adapter instead.
3. Create your own *.CFG file. As a last resort, you can create a custom .CFG
file, as long as you clearly know all the resources that the adapter uses.

Before installing the Operating System, please read this section carefully.

Configuring Logical Disk Size for the Disk Array Controller

During system configuration, the Jet Set Utility on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-
ROM helps you set logical disk size in the Disk Array Configuration process. If the
boot drive is on the Disk Array Controller, set the logical disk size of the boot partition
