Reboot requirements • A reboot is required only if your system requires ASPI or an upgrade to the currently installed version. On systems that require ASPI, if the installer detects a previously installed version of ASPI older than v4.57, it will install a more recent version of ASPI, which will require a reboot. • On Windows NT and 2000, ASPI is not installed as part of the operating system. If a reboot is unacceptable, do not select the checkbox for this option in the installation process.
NOTE: ASPI is not officially supported by Windows Server 2003. However, in most cases, it will function properly. If ASPI is installed with Windows Server 2003, L&TT can make use of it if the ASPI I/O mode is selected. However, HP recommends that you use the default NT MiniPort I/O option with Windows Server 2003. 6. 7. 8. 9. Select a destination location to install the program.
