CHAPTER 5: Driver Installation
5.4 Installing Drivers for Windows NT
With an additional software driver, your
Ultra2 LVD SCSI Host Adapter
will support
Windows NT 3.5x or 4.0. With such a software driver, the host computer can
transfer data over the SCSI bus. The Adapter’s device driver for Windows NT is
copied from Driver Disk 1 to your hard drive, from which it is automatically loaded
during the system boot routine.
The following files are used for installation and will be found on Driver Disk 1:
“INIA100.SYS” is the Adapter’s Windows NT miniport driver, “TXTSETUP.OEM”
is the script file for installing INIA100.SYS during the text-only setup phase, and
“OEMSETUP.INF” is the script file for installing INIA100.SYS during the windowed
phase.
The Adapter’s Windows NT driver will be installed on the boot drive. The driver
is loaded during the system boot routine and will remain resident on the drive.
This is accomplished by following one of the four installation procedures listed in
this section: regular new Windows NT installation, new Windows NT installation
from bootable CD, diskless new Windows NT installation, or adding or updating
the Adapter driver in an existing Windows NT system. These procedures differ
significantly from one another. We strongly suggest that you carefully read the
instructions for the procedure you plan to use and make sure you understand
them before proceeding with the corresponding system-configuration changes.
In addition, if you are installing the Adapter’s Windows NT driver before you
install the Adapter itself, follow the procedure in Section 5.4.5 to correctly add the
Adapter hardware to your system.
