Installing the Operating System Drivers 7-7
Installation Procedures
You can install device drivers on a Windows NT server using:
■ the Compaq SSD for Windows NT Setup program installation
or
■ the standard Windows NT device driver installation
If you will be installing the driver after installing Windows NT, use the
Compaq SSD for Windows NT installation method; however, if you need to
install the driver during initial Windows NT installation, you must use the
standard Windows NT device driver installation method. Both methods are
outlined in this chapter.
