Installing the Operating System Drivers 7-5
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
This section includes instructions for installing the initial driver for a new
Smart Array 431 installation or for upgrading the driver in an existing
Windows NT server/Smart Array 431 system. If you used SmartStart to install
Windows NT and drivers on a new server, you do not need to make the
Support Server Diskette (SSD) utility diskettes.
Materials Needed
To install the Smart Array 431 Windows NT driver on your server, you will
need:
■ Compaq SmartStart and Support Server CD (supplied in the Smart Array
431 option kit)
■ Blank diskettes
■ Access to a server or workstation with a bootable CD-ROM drive. This
may be the system in which you are installing the Smart Array 431.
Creating the Windows NT SSD Diskettes
The Windows NT driver for the Smart Array 431 is located on the Compaq
SmartStart and Support Server CD that is supplied in the Smart Array 431
option kit. To access the driver, you will first need to create the Compaq SSD
for Windows NT diskettes. These diskettes contain the latest operating system
software, drivers, and support documentation for all Compaq equipment

1. Boot the server from the Compaq SmartStart and Support Server CD.
2. From the Compaq System Utilities screen, select Create Support Server.
3. From the Diskette Builder screen, select Create Support Server
Diskettes from CD only.
4. Scroll down the list and select Compaq Support Software for Windows NT.

diskettes.
