Chapter 3 Installing Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Server
NOTE Do not try to install Windows NT 4.0 via booting from the
Windows NT CD-ROM. This method of installation does not
work properly on most servers. The installation procedure will
prompt you to insert the Windows NT CD-ROM at a later
time.
PHASE 1 – Drivers Installation

2. Replace the diskette when prompted and press Enter.
3. Once under Windows NT Server Setup menu, press Enter to continue.
4. Press Enter to launch the automatic detection of mass storage device. It will
detect the IDE CD-ROM and propose the appropriate driver.
5. If you have a SCSI model:
a. Press S to to specify additional SCSI adapters. The Windows NT installer
will display a scrolling list of options.
b. Press Enter to select the default option "Other (Requires Disk provided
by a hardware manufacturer)".
c. When prompted to insert the "Manufacturer-supplied hardware support
disk", insert the HP Server tc2110 Windows NT SCSI driver (HP disk NT
SCSI) into floppy drive then press Enter.
d. Press Enter to select the "Adaptec Ultra160 Family PCI SCSI controller".
6. ""Ensure that both the PCI SCSI (if applicable) and CD-ROM IDE
controllers are properly detected by checking the status at the top of the
screen. The installation will not be successful if these two drivers are not
properly installed.
7. If you have any more mass storage device drivers to install, you may do so at
this time by pressing S.
8. When completed, press Enter to continue.
PHASE 2 – Hard Drive Preparation
1. Press Enter to continue if you are warned about your hard disk containing
more than 1024 cylinders. Your HP system can indeed handle this correctly.
2. Press C when prompted, to continue with the installation.
