3. Follow the instructions provided by the operating system that you are
installing.
Microsoft Windows NT Device Drivers
from Compaq
Drivers are supplied to support Microsoft Windows NT 3.51, 4.0, and
Windows 2000 Server. They are located on the SmartStart and Support
Software CD, and some of the drivers are contained on the Windows NT retail
product. The drivers on the Support Software Diskettes (SSD) may be newer
versions with new functionality, problem fixes, and so on. If you use
SmartStart to install your operating system, these drivers are installed
automatically. Otherwise, you can use SmartStart to create the Windows NT
Support Software Diskettes (SSD) from Compaq to support a manual
installation of Windows NT.
For more information on the drivers, run the README.BAT file in the root
directory of the SSD for Windows NT. This will load the WinHelp file
NTREADME.HLP.
Manual Installation
If you choose not to let SmartStart configure the server, follow this procedure:
1. Boot from the SmartStart and Support Software CD.
2. Select Manual Configuration.
3. Follow the instructions that display on the monitor.
Using Windows NT 4.0 with Compaq 64-Bit Dual
Channel Wide Ultra2 SCSI Adapters
IMPORTANT: Installation of Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 requires this procedure. These
instructions must also be followed when booting the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM
to install your operating system on the ProLiant server with a 64-bit Dual Channel Wide
Ultra2 SCSI Adapter (for example, the ProLiant ML530). The NT 4.0 CD-ROM does not
contain the necessary drivers for proper installation using this controller.
The preferred method of installing Windows NT 4.0 on Compaq servers is
using the Assisted Install Path provided with the Compaq SmartStart and
Support Software CD. However, the following manual installation method
may be used.
