4.1 Install NT 4.0 Server
The first step in the installation process is to install the NT 4.0 Server operating system. It is
strongly recommended that you do a clean installation of the entire system. Many of the more
expensive server PCs come with customized installation programs that walk the user thru the NT
installation process. If your PC comes with a special installation CD, you should use it, but read
this section first to identify the places where you will have to change settings from the default
values. This section describes the NT installation process using the standard Microsoft NT
Server installation CD.
Below are the specific steps to follow:
Turn the computer on. During the boot-up process, enter the CMOS setuphowever that
process occurs on your machine. Look for a message that says which key to press to enter Setup
(Delete and F2 are popular choices).
- Set the CMOS to boot from the CD-ROM drive.
- Insert the NT Server CD Installation in the CD-ROM drive, then exit from the CMOS
settings. The system should now boot from the CD.
- The blue “Windows NT Setup” screen is displayed. Wait while various system files and
drivers are loaded.
- The blue NT boot screen is displayed, then it goes back to the “Windows NT Server Setup”
screen.
- Press Enter to install Windows NT now.
- The Mass Storage screen is now displayed. This section of the setup process is hardware
specific. Most corporate PCs do not have SCSI interfaces installed in them. Many server
PCs do come with SCSI interfaces, so you’ll need to know what kind of hard disks your
system has before continuing. Press Enter to skip searching for SCSI devices. Press “S” to
check for them.
- The Licensing Agreement is displayed. Read the Agreement (press the Page Down key to
advance to the next page) until end of End User License Agreement (EULA) verbiage is
reached.
- Press F8 to accept the Licensing Agreement.
- The Server Setup screen is displayed which lists any previous installations of NT. Select
“N” to install a fresh copy of NT Server.
